Peace is a way of life, the way you speak, the way you think. Love everyone. If you were to hate someone and they died before you could make ammends than that would weigh on you. Love is my weapon, and i love you all. Im sixteen and have been to six placements for drugs and violence and i converted to pacifism and vegetarianism, because i want to love life, and i do with peace. I live strong now. And so happy because i found my inner self and i found my inner peace. So for that, I love you. , (=
