Peace,
in the sense of the absence of war,
is of little value to someone
who is dying of hunger or cold.
It will not remove the pain
of torture inflicted on a
prisoner of conscience.
It does not comfort those who have lost their
loved ones in floods caused by senseless
deforestation in a neighboring country.
Peace can only last where human rights
are respected, where people are fed,
and where individuals and nations are free.
-- The XIVth Dalai Lama
