"21st century--despite knowing the horror of war and nuclear weapons, we, humans, are ceaselessly fighting against each other in some part of the world. When on earth can we see a genuinely peaceful world? It is not war, but mutual understanding and respect, that will resolve conflicts, and ensure that people all over the world of different cultures and religions, can coexist. Furthermore, I believe that peace will be realized only when each individual constructs it within his/her heart. The 21st century should be the century when we put and end to the history of long-lived conflicts and create a new history of peace; this is because we have a mission to pass on this beautiful earth to future generations without destruction...."
