“An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind”

Following the tragic events occurred on March 15 in Christchurch, New Zealand, where 49 people lost their lives, let’s all remember that violence, hate, will never be the answer. While men keep forgetting what really matters in life, love, and that we are all brothers that should love ourselves, forgive and be kind to each other, these events will never stop. The only way to stop it, starts in us. Remembering the rules of love, charity, forgiveness, from our hearts, not from our lips. Only when we all learn that, we can all live in peace.

Quoting Mahatma Gandhi “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind”. There’s good and love in all of us, let’s learn and practice that.

“Imagine” by John Lennon, dedicated to all of the mankind that lost their lives to violence, and today, specially to the brothers and sisters in Christchurch, may their souls and spirits find the warm light after the storm. And may their tormentor finds his lost peace and compassion in his spirit one day. May we all live in Peace one day.
