...World Peace For Sale...

once again it was a rainy afternoon... so I was not able to go to the place I wanted to go and shoot some photos for this week's PEACE theme over at 365 Project.... so later in the evening, when the rain let up a bit, i took a walk around to see if something can catch my eyes that fits this week's theme... and this is what I saw.... and immediately, the thoughts below is what came to mind.... so am sharing here, too..

=================================


we do not have to look hard enough to be able to find World Peace being advocated everywhere/anywhere and just about everything... We see it in greeting cards... in commercials.... We hear politicians & beauty queens promising/hoping/praying for it... we see it in movies, televisions & books.... and we can even buy it through Licensed Products of all sorts - such as these little Gaspard et Lisa note books....

With all these being infused, one way or another, in our minds, thoughts & senses - isn't it, still a wonder why we cannot truly attain World Peace???

If only it was as simple as buying a notebook such as this...

NOTE: Photo taken earlier tonite at a Stationary shop...

"In peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons."
- Herodotus

"There was never a good war or a bad peace."
-Benjamin Franklin

"Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous"
-- George Bernard Shaw

"I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
