From a Distance

From a distance, the world look blue and green,
And the snow capped mountains so white,
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
And the eagles takes to flight,
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the land.
It`s the voice hope, it`s the voice of peace,
It`s the voice of every man.

From a distance, we all have enough,
And no one is in need.
There are no guns, no bombs and no disease
No hungry mouth to feed.
For a moment we must be instruments,
Marching in a common band,
Playing songs of hope. playing songs of peace,
They`re the song of every one.

God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us, from a distance.

From a distance, you look like my friend,
Even though we are at war.
From a distance, I can`t comprehend,
What all the war for.
What we need is love and harmony,
Let it echoe through the land.
It`s the hope of hopes, it`s the love of loves,
It`s the heart of every one.
It`s the hope of hopes, it`s the love of loves.
It`s the song of everyone

...Wars throughout history have been wage for conquest and plunder. In the Middle Ages when the feudal lords who inhabited the castles whose towers may still be seen along the Rhine concluded to enlarge their domains, to increase their power, their prestige and their wealth, they declared war upon one another. But they themselves did not go to war any more than the modern feudal lords, the barons of the Wall Street...
...The feudal barons of the Middle Ages, the capitalists of our day, declare all wars. And their miserable serfs fought all the battles. The poor, ignorant serfs had been taught to revere their masters. To believe that when their masters declared war upon one another, it was their patriotic duty to fall upon one another and to cut one anothers throats for the profit and glory of the lords and barons who held them in contemp... the master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose...especially their lives.

I read this from the blog of Blueeyes4750atya, i posted it on my page hoping it will spread further...

Breakfast at McDonald

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through and until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, & 3) and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology.
The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called, "Smile".
The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son and I went out to McDonald`s one crisp March morning.
It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.
We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us begun to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch...an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
As I looked down at the short gentlemen, close to me, he was "smiling".
His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God`s Light as he searched for acceptance.
He said, "Good Day" as he counted the few coins he had clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hand as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue eyed gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something...He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it-the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.
I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meal on separate tray.
I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman`s hand.
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said "Thank you".
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope".
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down, my husband smiled at me and said,"that is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope".
We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been give we were able to give.
We are not church goers, but we are believers.
That day showed me the pure Light of God`s sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.
I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it.
Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?"
I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
She began to read and that is when i knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald`s, my son, instructor, and every soul that share the classroom.
The last night I spent as a college student, I graduated with one of the biggest lesson I would ever learn to:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn to:
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS. NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE
There is an Angel sent to watch over you...

"My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-beings through no fault, and no merit, of my own. The cause of this is may well be the desire, unattainable for many, to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle. I am quite aware that for any organization to reach its goals, one man must do the thinking and directing and generally bear the responsibility. But the led must not be coerced, they must be able to choose their leader. In my opinion, an autocratic system of coercion soon degenerates, force attract men of low morality....The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative sentiment individual, the personality, it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thoughts and dull in feeling."

"I refuse to be silent any longer.� I refuse to be party to an illegal and immoral war against people who did nothing to deserve our aggression.� My oath of office is to protect and defend America`s laws and its people.� By refusing unlawful orders for an illegal war, I fulfill that oath today."

If...the machine of government...is such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then I say break the law...

Let me just comment on the post of Ms. Zatikia at Further Left Forum that was titled, "Blame Americans".

I believed that, putting the blame to American citizens, regarding the miseries of Iraqi people and the destruction of that country, is so absurd and ridiculous! There are many Americans who are against that senseless war! Many wants to sent back home the troops from Iraq at the earliest possible time.

In my opinion, the blame should be thrown to the richest people of the world: be it Americans, Europeans or Asians!

Their firms rake trillion of dollars in profit at the miseries of Iraqis and anguished of the relatives of American soldiers who die or maimed by that brutal and savage war!
