Compassion & Fairness=Peacemaker


"To be peacemaker
there is a need to get inside
the mind and heart of your opponent.
You need to have the compassion
to understand and to help them.
Your fight is for fairness.
It is possible to be a warrior and a peacemaker."

Jim Downs - "The Book of Positive Qualities" pg. 373

I am thankful to have a neighbor like Irene. She has been feeding the Seagulls for years. Irene is a great model for a lifestyle of compassion and fairness; to both animals and humans, a true peacemaker.
