Jeremy Gilley: One day of peace
Trki, Kody, Cheaty do
http://www.ted.com Here's a crazy idea: Persuade the world to try living in peace for just one day, every September 21. In this energetic, honest talk, Jeremy Gilley tells the story of how this crazy idea became real -- real enough to help millions of kids in war-torn regions. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

Many people I personally know, in real life, in the flesh and blood, can rationalize war. They look weird when I rationalize peace. Is that not odd?!

This goal is good for my goal of the car off oil. More from me search youtube "system design engineering 2007" click "systems rap".

Really enjoyed this talk. The best Ted talks are when they capture you, the ones that keep you focused and interested in what they have to say.
First I have heard of peace day but I agree with it 100% and that every bit counts :)
Loved the end quote he used of one white square and one drop in a jar of clear water -
God calls to the Home of Peace.” (The Quran, 10:25)
“And good and evil deeds are not alike. Repel evil with good. And he who is your enemy will become your dearest friend.” (41:33-34)
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. (Al-Qur'an 49:13)
And when other relations and orphans and the poor are present at the division of heritage, give them something therefrom and speak to them words of kindness. - (Al-Qur'an 4:9)
And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace - (Al Qur'an 25:63)
But if one fears from the bequeather [some] error or sin and corrects that which is between them, there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. - (Al Qur'an 2:182)
Except those who join a group between whom and you there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with hearts restraining them from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. If Allah had pleased, He could have given them power over you, and they would have fought you: Therefore if they withdraw from you but fight you not, and (instead) send you (Guarantees of) peace, then Allah Hath opened no way for you (to war against them). - (Al Qur'an 4:90)
No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people. And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allah - then We are going to give him a great reward. - (Al Qur'an 4:144)
And do not make [your oath by] Allah an excuse against being righteous and fearing Allah and making peace among people. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. - (Al Qur'an 2:224)
Abuse not those to whom they pray, apart from God, or they will abuse God in revenge without knowledge. So We have decked out fair to every nation their deeds; then to their Lord they shall return, and He will tell them what they have been doing. - (Al Qur'an 6:108)
Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. - (Al Qur'an 5:32)
O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. - (Al Qur'an 49:11)
Whereby Allah guideth him who seeketh His good pleasure unto paths of peace. He bringeth them out of darkness unto light by His decree, and guideth them unto a straight path. - (Al Qur'an 5:16) -
Hate to be a cynic, but what are we going to do about people who aren't happy with the status quo? Not everybody wants peace. But hey, I'll support the idea.
-
In a hasidic adage: "one small ray of light dispels much darkness"
Same here. One day of light. Will shine through the year in a big way. Let's do this! -
