"Peace is Aloha World peace
cannot be acheived unless we start at home first. Until there is peace
in the homes, schools, and in the work place, world peace is merely a dream.
However, dreams do come true if you want it bad enough. Look into your
hearts and replace the hate, anger and violence with harmony, tranquility
and love. It can all start with a single act of kindness. Peace
is aloha."
