World peace will not come about just by singing about it. It will require action on the part of
all. Everyone should exercise compassion for people, animals, the environment, and all sentient
beings. If the compassionate impulses that lie in every human heart were brought together, a
synergistic force would be created that could transform the Earth. The planet would become a
place of warmth and kindness—a real home for every sentient being. Exercising compassion
and wisdom is especially important for young people, because the future of the world relies
upon you. If every one of you were to arouse compassion in your heart, world peace would
manifest naturally.
