Peace is not just the absence of war. Peace can be achieved through Rotary’s efforts to fight disease, malnutrition, illiteracy and unemployment.
Rotary can show the way by taking many steps forward towards others to convince them that Rotarians only ask for a friendly hands to join theirs in ‘doing good in the world.’ When even a fraction of the community becomes part of our endeavour, the first chapter of “Success to Peace” would have started. Soon this chapter would be written and one day, we hope, the complete book will be in our hands.
The only way to peace is be peaceful, tolerant and ever ready to offer your hand first with a sincerity that cannot be misunderstood. Peace is never just a matter of thought, desire or conviction only. Peace required concerted action with total commitment. Anything less would result in depression and loss of faith. Commitment will push us to try again and never allow failure to deter us from our efforts.
Rotary has committed itself to peace and therefore we will, one day, see the light of serenity and tranquility that are precursors of peace.LET THERE BE PEACE EVERYWHERE.
