Live Poll: World Peace Day: Give Peace a Chance

I get your point, but what is the alternative to quietly sit by and doing nothing. By allowing those in power under the status quo to promote violent harm and social injustice. "Nonviolent resistance (NVR or nonviolent action) is the practice of achieving goals such as social change through symbolic protests, civil disobedience, economic or political noncooperation, satyagraha, or other methods, while being nonviolent. This type of action highlights the desires of an individual or group that feels that something needs to change to improve the current condition of the resisting person or group." Given all the options, this seems the most peaceful of all and far better than doing nothing to solve the world's problems.

I would guess that the purpose of the day to have a discussion about peace and steps that can be taken to move us closer to that ideal.. Here is the website if you want to know more, International Day of Peace. The 2019 Peace Day #peaceday theme draws attention to the importance of combating climate change as a way to protect and promote peace throughout the world.#ClimateAction Learn more HERE. 

In order to face to to the theme, I am making that association, as does Google and Wikipedia when searching for famous peace activists. Likewise, the New York Post made the association as i did:,To honor the International Day of Peace, a list of the most famous peace activists.

LOL

cute

I added Jane Addams,  Leymah Gbowee, Baroness Bertha von Suttner, and Malala Yousafzai,

Thanks, I was aware of The dark side of Nelson Mandela and his Umkhonto we Sizwe connection. That portion of his early life was covered fairly in Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013), I would think a fair amount of pacifist have first hand experience with the horrors of war and blood on their hands. Like others, I think it is fair to credit him for his actions and opinions he held most of life.

None of these people were saints.

You're not suggesting this anymore? I liked this one. 

You are welcome to adopt this orphaned suggestion, if you like.
