Empires have risen and fallen. Civilizations reached the pinnacle of their glory and disappeared without a trace. Wars have been waged down the millennia, and a great tumult clouded our very existence. But the one beacon of hope that has towered despite the seemingly insurmountable odds that each era presented, is Peace.
The history of our own country shows that it has not been bereft of its share of dark times; and yet, we have always stood firm and unified, much to the astonishment of the rest of the world because we steadfastly adhered to the path of ahimsa or non-violence.
We must inculcate in our children that the survival of humankind hinges on tranquillity. In passing the baton on to the next generation, we are creating Messengers of Peace, secure in the knowledge that triumph ultimately belongs to all that is good and just.
