A phrase to contemplate on

We know very well who benefits from war in the age of empire. But we must also ask ourselves honestly who benefits from peace in the age of empire? War mongering is criminal. But talking of peace without talking of justice could easily become advocacy for a kind of capitulation. And talking of justice without unmasking the institutions and the systems that perpetrate injustice is beyond hypocritical.

Hey beautiful people on earth, the Quote above is fr0m an article by Arundhati Roy, who won the Sydney peace prize Award this year.

This is like a win- lose situation. Without peace you can't get justice, and so without justice you can't get peace. choosing this Quote by this inspiring and outspoken lady, who stands up tall and bold to say what she thinks can make a difference to all of us, despite setbacks for what she thinks and believes.

Take a minute and contemplate these words peace! justice! maybe we say them everyday, eg be nice! why don't you be fair to one other: but do we know what they really mean? you will realise that peace and justice are the key to every successful country.

This is just like my country. all the people were crying that they needed peace. How they need peace without justice. then they came up with election before peace. After the election they can accomplish peace. up till now there is no sign to the road to peace and they are impatiently waiting for a helping hand to the way to peace.
one can not do injustice to find peace, nor the other way.

stereotype views are gone, and i think Roy has proven my point. she is a lady that says something that everyone can relate to, to make the world a better place. decades ago, women didn't have the opportunity to speak publicly.


every one needs fair treatment to have peace. In every religion there is a book that tells you the commandments and rules to follow. flick the pages and you will find it's obvious there is a chapter that says be FAIR and JUST to one another.

this lady is such a person. I love her words and ideas.I don't really know what to say other than to appreciate her awareness. Coming out of the closet to advocate to the people specially in the position who can make this happen

In a more honest way, with peace and justice in the world, every nation can enjoy the benefits of change. We can't coverup one in a sense to achieve the other. We need to come together to fight for peace and justice.
