About Us

We are just ordinary, every-day people who have decided that all people are equal, at least at the very core of their being (their soul), and should have equal rights to pursue a life of happiness in peace and safety. We are constantly trying our best to make our thoughts, words and actions reflect this.

We are against all hatred and all violence because we have seen that it achieves suffering and always causes more problems than it solves.

‘I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.’ — Mahatma Gandhi

We realise that everybody in this world is different and that is great, because it adds colour and interest to the world. We all have different thoughts about many different things, and we respect those thoughts and each individual's rights to them. We think that if we would wish our opinions and rights to those opinions to be respected, then we must respect the opinions of everybody else, even if they are different from ours. In terms of those who would try to do us and others harm, we look to what a very wise man, Mohandas Gandhi, once said :

'Hate the sin and not the sinner. This is an easy enough concept to understand but is rarely practiced. This is why the poison of hatred spreads through-out the world.'

We would be honest with people and say in our experience that the above concept is sometimes very difficult to fulfil, but practice makes perfect.

We believe that with much unselfish determination and hard work, it will one day be possible for all people in the world to pursue a life of happiness in peace and safety.

'It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.'
Martin Luther King, Jr.

'What is true of the individual will be tomorrow true of the whole nation if individuals will but refuse to lose heart and hope.' — Mahatma Gandhi

We are One World One People.
