More thoughts and experiences through Mai Vu’s eyes

Is WORLD PEACE possible? I say NO!!

Last night I attended an event called Cities of Peace http://tinyurl.com/mupxmv in SF. Hosted by Summer of Peace http://tinyurl.com/m44fwl. Summer of Peace is an innovative initiative designed to accelerate the shift to a culture of peace through local collaborations, best practices, grassroots activity, and inspirational events, one city at a time starting with SF.

I wanted so much to be enrolled in the process. But the truth is at the end of the talk, Lawrence Ellis asked “How enrolled are you?” and my answer was “No, i am not enrolled”

How can I not be enrolled in the peace process? How can I be luke warm about it? waiting for “them” to enroll me? to entertain me so that I feel compelled inside? How can I think “all of this is nice, but I don’t get it, but I am too busy to get involved, time is tough I don’t have money to support them”?

So let it be known, the peace process is not possible because people like me are still saying “no, thank you I am too…. to be involved.”
