An idea worth spreading
I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. (Mahatma Gandhi)
If we are to reach real peace in this world and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with children; and if they will grow up in their natural innocence, we won't have to struggle; we won't have to pass fruitless idle resolutions, but we shall go from love to love and peace to peace, until at last all the corners of the world are covered with that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously the whole world is hungering. (Mahatma Gandhi)
The TED story
It all started with the Stephen Hawking's talk, which is still one of my favorites.
