I’ve decided our world needs a new holiday. I’m calling it Peacegiving Day. I’m sick and tired of all the senseless violence. The hate. The vile things human beings are doing to each other including the killing and the bombing and the migrations and the kidnappings and the abuse and the pain and the suffering and the discrimination and the hatred. ENOUGH is ENOUGH. We need a day of peace.
Peacegiving is about giving the gift of peace to your enemies for one, glorious, harmonious day. You know who I’m talking about – I’m talking about the slimy-assed bastards that are seemingly ruining your life causing you to think their demise is the only solution. The Republicans. The Democrats. The Jews. The Christians. The Muslims. The Buddhists. The Liberals. The Whites. The Blacks. The Yellows. The Reds. The Men. The Women. The Husbands. The Wives. The Kids. The Girlfriends. The Parents. The In-Laws. The Brothers. The Sisters. The Immigrants. The Illegal Immigrants. The Bosses. The co-Workers. The Homeless. The Insured. The Un-Insured. The Teachers. The Counselors. The Coaches. The Teammates. The Fans. The Liberal Media. Fox News. The Dodgers. The Lakers. The Seahawks. Everyone you despise on Peacegiving you are going to give them 1 peaceful day out of your precious 365.
Loving the people you hate. What a concept!
We need you. Yes, you, to stop the hate. For one day, you’re going to spread your peace. You’re going to accept your hated’s differences. You’re going to relax. You’re going to enjoy a meal with your enemies or heaven forbid with the complete strangers you know nothing about yet hate with a passion beyond reason. You’re not going to kill, maim, harass, tease, hurt, bomb, fight, ridicule, belittle. You’re going to love like a 6-month old puppy loves – without discrimination. Now this is how you affect change. Starting with you and creating an environment of serenity, respect, and mutual interest of your evil twin. How sweet this would be?
And Peacegiving will be a Global Holiday. No work, only play. No hate, only love. No bad news on Television, in the Newspaper, or on the Internet. Wouldn’t everyone on the planet like a day like that?
I know I would. Aren’t you as fed up as I am at all the senseless violence? There is no sense in violence. I’m starting with the man in the mirror. I’m calling my new holiday Peacegiving Day. Spread the word. You may think I’m a dreamer, but I can’t be the only one.
