Step One. . .

This quote by Gandhi was part of Dalai Mama's latest blog at Wondertime. It supports my belief that if children grow up healthy and fed and loved, it is much less probable that hate will take root in their hearts.

"If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to struggle, we won't have to pass fruitless idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering." - Gandhi, quoted in the book Above All, Be Kind.
