Quotations
“People may have different views of life that may create conflicts. If we do not understand and forgive each other, life in the earth is diminishing and it is getting harder to achieve the needs. Forgiveness means to open and give chances to come into life more peacefully.” (Ara Pacis Initiative; photo unrepresented nations
