globechey1.jpgIt’s blogblast for peace. As a peace loving cat, I, of course am participating.

There can be no peace without an understanding of compassion. Compassion is the highest, most simple form of love. While we may not like someone, we can place ourselves in their shoes and offer them compassion for the fact that they are not so different from ourselves.

All sentient beings seek love and happiness. They all do their best to avoid suffering. At the basest level, we are all alike. The way we seek out these things and the exact things that cause either love or sufering are different for each of us. When we can understand and respect that diversity we can have peace.

We can choose to act from love and compassion or we can act from fear. Fear is what leads to violence and wars. To break that habit, we must begin to act from compassion. Acting from compassion is still acting. It means that when we act, we act from the courage of our convictions and with the intent to offer no harm to another but make the world a better place than it was before.

Purrs.

  12. Hmph. Peace with the Brats? One day, but I’m not promising anything after that.

    P.S. I’m home now and doing better. Thanks so much for the prayers and kind words.

  25. That was so wonderfully said! You have such a way with words – but then, you ARE a politician, right? But judging from your words a Buddhist at heart!
    Love and peace and purrs to you!

  27. May the warmth and spirit of this Peace Globe Day bring us all peace. You’re globe is beautiful.

    I got your message over at my site. Skeezix would definitely make a well dressed moderator!

    It is your choice. Please let me know when you expect the debate to begin.

    I see by the comments here, that your constituency liked your post about peace. They seem to have already elected you!

    sincerely,

  38. Nice words. It that part of your platform?

    We heard that you’re running on the Meezers for Total Domination ticket, but isn’t your running mate a non-meezer?
