Speading Peace Over the Net

It was very smart and thoughtful effort from Trevor to use nowaday's most powerful means of communication to spread peace the easiest, yet most effective, way possible. This reminds me in some way of a campaign called the Free Hugs Campaign that was first held in Sydney by Juan Mann following quite an unusual story (you can get more information about it on http://www.freehugscampaign.org/).
It all always starts with an idea and spreads in a blink, thanks to the internet. Thanks to Juan's initiative, there have been other campaigns throughout the world that started after the online broadcasting of his video. All it takes is a dare.


No need to count the miles and hours of difference, since we may all be different people, living all around the world, with different cultures and mentalities. It is everyone's own wealth and as Professor Stephanie Sabato said, wealth is not counted by how much you have in your bank account. Yet those differences do not keep us from the true things of life. I guess Trevor did make a point that reached every human heart: that no matter who or where you are, you are never alone; for there are other people who can support what first can appear the craziest and most difficult of your ideas. Peace be on everyone :)
