How To Achieve World Peace
People require perfection.
Yet they are not perfect.
People demand loyalty.
Yet they are not loyal.
People need love.
Yet they do not love.
People look for beauty.
Yet it eludes them,
because there is none in their hearts.
They cannot control their inner man,
but they spend their time
trying to control their outer world.
They do not know how to appreciate
or what appreciation means.
Ironically, until they can learn
how to control their inner man
they cannot learn how to control
their outer world to bring about world peace,
for their outer world is a reflection
of their inner state of consciousness.
