It may seem impossible to reach and transform every troubled person out there. And shifting the ideologies adopted by those surrounded by leaders and caregivers who advocate violence and oppression may appear unreal.

We must strive to become more conscious of our thoughts and behaviour, take responsibility for our actions, and be positive examples within our own families and communities. In addition, we must make an effort to create and spread information on methods for healing and peace. We owe it to ourselves.
