“The institutions of human society treat us as parts of a machine. They assign us ranks and place considerable pressure upon us to fulfill defined roles. We need something to help us restore our lost and distorted humanity. Each of us has feelings that have been suppressed and have built up inside. There is a voiceless cry resting in the depths of our souls, waiting for expression. Art gives the soul's feelings voice and form.” NeedsGivingHumansHas BeensArtSoulHelpingFeelingsFormHumanityLostPeaceWaitingVoiceRolesCryExpressionBuiltMachinesTreatsPressureInstitutionsDepthKarmaDefinedHuman SocietyVoicelessSelf Reformation Author:Daisaku Ikeda
“Peace cannot be built on exclusivism, absolutism, and intolerance. But neither can it be built on vague liberal slogans and pious programs gestated in the smoke of confabulation.

“Peace is not merely the absence of war. Nor can it be reduced solely to the maintenance of a balance of power between enemies. Nor is it brought about by dictatorship. Instead, it is rightly and appropriately called "an enterprise of justice" (Is. 32:7). Peace results from that order structured into human society by its divine founder, and actualized by men as they thirst after ever greater justice.” MenHumansWarPeaceJusticeResultsEnemyGreaterDivineBalanceBuiltHarmonyAbsenceEnterpriseDictatorshipFoundersThirstMaintenanceHuman SocietyUbuntuPeace And JusticePeace JusticePeace Not WarBalance Of Power Author:Pope Paul VI
“To wage war on misery and to struggle against injustice is to promote, along with improved conditions, the human and spiritual progress of all men, and therefore the common good of humanity. Peace cannot be limited to a mere absence of war, the result of an ever precarious balance of forces. No, peace is something that is built up day after day, in the pursuit of an order intended by God, which implies a more perfect form of justice among men.” MenHumansWarSpiritualFormHumanityOrderForcePeaceJusticePerfectResultsCommonStruggleProgressConditionsBalanceBuiltMiseryMereInjusticeAbsencePursuitCommon GoodUbuntuPeace And JusticePrecariousPeace JusticePeace Not WarSpiritual Progress Book:On the development of peoples Source: On the development of peoples
