PREJUDICE/INJUSTICE/VIOLENCE -ANONYMOUS
"To do Justice is more acceptable to God than sacrifice" Prov 21:3
let's Choose to love—rather than hate, to smile—rather than frown, to build—rather than destroy, to persevere—rather than quit, to praise—rather than gossip, to heal—rather than wound, to give—rather than take, to act—rather than delay, to forgive—rather than curse, to think globally & act locally-rather than despair!
Since subjectivity is intrinsic in our nature, we are susceptible to different degrees of Prejudices, which are manifested in any of the "isms & phobias" e.g. sexism, racism, ageism, xenophobia, etc.
Prejudice, Injustice & Violence are related (not always a cause & effect): Prejudice & Injustice often lead to Violence & vice verse
Terrorism is an extreme form of prejudice, injustice & violence, which targets innocent civilians. No wonder, terrorists harbor extreme prejudice against their victims & de-humanize them
Peace should starts within & spreads outwards. Some "peace activists" who did not acquire inner Peace, use violence to advocate for Peace! Naturally, a person without inner Peace cannot export it to others
The 12-Steps Program is the most comprehensive, workable program to heal human destructive behaviors at individual & group levels. By applying the 12 Steps to our circumstances, we could learn what causes peace & unlearn what causes prejudice, injustice, & violence
We have modified the 12-Steps to develop a grassroot movement to heal ourselves & our Earth from Prejudices/ Injustice/ Violence. All credits are due to Dr Bob & Mr Bill.
You are invited to join us as a pioneer to establish groups all over our Globe. You may serve on our Rotationary Advisory Board, which uses 12-Steps Groups' bylaws.
You may post messages, articles, files, links, calendar items, polls, photos, etc. Posters should practice Free Speech to the extent allowed by our MISSIONS & MUTUAL RESPECT.
