Living peace in the shadows of war. Day 20 ☯️📚

" Grey skies are going to clear up 🎼🎶
Put on a happy 😊 face!"
I wonder if anyone here remembers that song too??

Hi y'all, when I'm going through hard stuff, many times I sing old songs to myself. They may be corny to some, but not to me.

People wrote them to encourage others during hard times. In war and other situations.

I think during the times we are going through, it helps for us to pull together 😉.

We may not always agree on some things but wanting to have the same basic rights and safe place to live, our families should be ok and we have enough to eat. Beyond that what's more important?
People have talked about " the end days" for hundreds of years. In many cultures and beliefs.
It's not a new thing.

Is WWW 3 a possibility?
It could be yet do the people with the power, really want to take that chance?

There's wars going on as we all know and every day we hear about it. We feel for the people stuck in it. There's nothing we can do to help or stop it.

The people in power want to live.
That's an absolute.
They have families too.
They watched what happened in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Would they take a chance to repeat it? Let's hope not.
Can we prepare for it?
Maybe.
There's bunkers in mountains 🏔️
Ready for certain people like for our president.

Regular people that aren't super rich, we are on our own.
We can keep spring water and other supplies,in case power outage or weather events happen.

In the 1960s I remember us little kids. Having to have drills and we were told to " hide under our desk,in case of a nuclear attack".

To be honest, most of us didn't understand what that really meant. We did as we were told and were glad when it was over!

Looking back as adults, it was a waste of time. Because it wouldn't have saved us.

I don't know what is going to happen,as none of us do.

We can live our lives as best we can. Look out for others and ourselves. Do what we can each day.
Some Jewish people think it's not going to happen for another 700 years! Then the Moshiach ( The Messiah) will come.

Some Christians believe " no man (or woman,) will know the day or the hour when Jesus will return".

The Hindu and other faithful from every faith, believe in their own way.

As a person who has committed to several faiths over a lifetime.
I hope someone is right!
That someone will come to save humanity before it's too late.

In the meantime, we should do our best to save ourselves by taking care of the planet and each other.
Teaching children how to have respect for each other and the planet.
How to be self-sufficient.

We taught our kids and grandkids and showed them, how to grow a garden, sew and cook. Along with many things.

We told them the truth about the world and explained things according to their age.

We tried to prepare them for whatever the future would bring.

That's about the best you can do.

I hope this helps and starts a dialogue of living peace ✌️ in the shadows of war.
Be blessed ☯️.
