John WorldPeace is not
a pacifist
If you think
I am a pacifist, forget it. If you think that the passive advocacy
of peace and WorldPeace will accomplish much of anything in this world,
you are wrong. Jesus was not passive. Jesus was a revolutionary
who actively confronted the hypocrisy of the religious bureaucracy of
the Jews. He also confronted the lawyers of his day. He even
warned people to settle their differences outside of the courts.
Jesus was a man who confronted the two foundations of society, religious
bureaucracies and the judicial system. Did Jesus get a fair trial?
I think not.
I am an advocate
for peace but I am not a pacifist. I advocate love, but I have no delusions
about the lack of active love in the world society. If you have
expectations that John WorldPeace is a pacifist in his advocacy of peace
and love, think again. Sixteen years ago, I changed my name to WorldPeace.
In those sixteen years I have personally experienced the fact that people
hate peace. They hate the concept of peace and they fear those who stand
up and actively promote it. They give lip service to their religious
beliefs while at the same time turning deaf ears and blind eyes away from
the pain and suffering which they have the ability to relieve.
They love their
families and children and tell themselves that other races and nations
do not. They refuse to embrace humanity. In fact, people generally
believe that those who are not of their religion, race or nation are sub
humans to be exploited and ignored in their suffering no matter how great.
The last thing
the world needs is another passive advocate for peace, love and justice.
