We are many, many people and yet we are one. What we do today with our thinking, what we do tomorrow with our thoughts, what we do with our actions and our interactions with people determines the course of the universe itself. You are not powerless. You are not without power.
We can want peace, but unless we are spiritually at peace ourselves, we dont mean it. It is our thoughts which keep that part of the universe where each of us stand out of or in balance.
