Bring Back the Peace Sign

I'm shocked by this world and the lack of love that people have for one another. I have always been taught to want Peace on Earth! There are numerous pennies in wells with my wishes for Peace on this Earth. I am not a young girl anymore and after so many years watching this world some has changed so much technology and yet so many of the same issues over and over. Still surprised every time I hear a story like for real how are people still thinking this way? I was taught early on to accept people, E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E. I've read books on psychology one that meant a lot to me was "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell where he clearly and scientifically proves so many subconscious beliefs that must be changed for people to start changing. If we don't ever confront the issues that are holding us back from peace this world will never change.

One of the hardest things for me to adjust to is the lack of eye contact people make these days. I believe wearing a mask for most of us feels a little weird, it's the hardest thing to get used to. I don't think it's wearing the mask as much as not being able to see a person's smile and facial expression. It's just offsetting for us makes everyone seem like a stranger. And literally s stranger could be dangerous now so it's not surprising we all are walking around unsure of how to act.

So... I think we should bring back the Peace Sign! Show that we are engaging in a positive way from a distance. No more hugs or handshakes but it still feels like a greeting to me and one that is positive especially with all that is happening in the world today.

I've always loved smiling at people at making them light up. I've always enjoyed people and so the lack of interaction is definitely hard for me. I like seeing the smile on their faces when I say something funny or nice and not having that tool in my pocket has made this hard for me to get across the sentiment I want to portray. I think using the peace sign makes me feel better clearly showing that I'm a hippie at heart and would encourage their message to come back. It's time for Peace. Everyone on this earth deserves to have Peace and it's time to reject those that are hateful and accept love.

Currently we are all witnessing one of the most horrible years ever seen. It started with fires in Australia and that was taken out by this pandemic...and now rioting and racial wars and police brutality. People at home for months then things in the world happen that aren't right and it just ignites a very much deserved fury. I don't think it is right to destroy property and am so saddened seeing the destruction but I understand where the anger comes from and the message that must be delivered. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I know I wish for peace, connection, patience, respect and caring for myself and I wish it for everyone in this world because I believe in the Golden Rule. I think most individuals want that and I truly don't understand human beings that don't.

I know I'll be showing peace to people I see on the street physically with my body so they know for sure what I am saying and nothing can be misunderstood. The Peace Sign! Two Fingers with a Powerful Meaning that isn't just for Hippies Anymore! Get em up, keep em out and party on.

Peace, Love and Whatever's your Jam!

BRING BACK PEACE!!! PEACE on EARTH for EVERYONE!
