Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I came across this very heartwarming story today about an event that occurred during the Christmas of War World I. On that day, the soldiers from both sides put asides their differences and celebrated Christmas together as brothers. It was said that on that day, they exchanged gifts and shared photographs with each other. Truly amazing that at time of war, we can be human too. Recently, an incident happened in Singapore whereby Mas Salemat, a Leader of Jemellah Islamiyah, JI, escapes from detention. It is unthinkable that a man can easily escape from detention. However, it is useless to point fingers and to argue who's fault it is now but rather to focus on catching the man on the run. And I do wish that this gentleman who is on run will learn peace in his mind. Come to think of it, we may have taken peace too lightly and an event like this certainly threatened the peace that we have long enjoyed and which we might have taken for granted. " Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
