Charter of REAL HOPES for World Peace

I wrote this quite a few years ago, just found it by chance, or was it?  I no longer believe in coincidence anymore.

 

CHARTER OF REAL HOPES FOR WORLD PEACE

This universal charter is an instrument to navigate  uncharted waters appearing as a Bermuda Triangle,

for the climate has changed – the economy is in crisis – and values appear stained,  

The peoples of the world feel estranged as disillusionment and armaments have replaced

REAL HOPES for a shared humanity

REAL HOPES is a values spectrum inspired to envision transformation into the common good:

R       Responsibility is your ability to respond to present challenges,

E       Empathy is to walk in the shoes of another, relating another’s plight as your own,

A      Awareness is to open your eyes and notice what you don’t see and can see

L       Love is unconditional acceptance of others that heals, reveals and inspires unity

H      Honesty speaks the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as is truthfully understood

O      Oneness is an ecological and spiritual union with no boundaries

P       Peace is an integrated balance that accepts all differences as a unique diversity

E       Enjoyment is experienced as joy of self, others as playful shared interests

S       Service is extending love as inner and external action for the benefit of others

The foundation of peace is realisable when commitment is indivisible.  Transformative peace is a process not a monument of war.  The stepping stones are peace meal, as follows:

 

T       The Police force transforms into peace keepers as models of civic behaviour

R       Restorative Justice transforms self interest into mutual understanding and shared empathy

A      Art transforms into daily recreation that enhances creativity, aliveness and inner peace

I        Inclusivity transforms from being seen to be, to being visible without walls of false judgement

N      Nationalism transforms into formations of identity diversity across, within and between countries
