If we have no peace, it is because we have
forgotten that we belong to each other.

Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to
someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove
the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It
does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in
floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring
country. Peace can only last where human rights are
respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals
and nations are free.
- The Dalai Lama
