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
