Simplexity by Michel Scholte
Society is made up of individuals. The thoughts and actions of each individual influence the culture of that society. Instead of waiting for others to improve, we should try to improve ourselves. Once our attitude has changed, we will be able to perceive goodness throughout world. If there is a positive change in us, it will also be reflected in others. It is only what we give that we can hope to get back.

One Song
Every war and every conflict between human beings
has happened because of some disagreement about names.
It is such an unnecessary foolishness,
because just beyond the arguing
there is a long table of companionship
set and waiting for us to sit down.
What is praised is one, so the praise is one too,
many jugs being poured into a huge basin.
All religions, all this singing, one song.
The differences are just illusion and vanity.
Sunlight looks a little different on this wall
than it does on that wall
and a lot different on this other one,
but it is still one light.
We have borrowed these clothes,
these time-and-space personalities,
from a light, and when we praise,
we are pouring them back in.

MasterPeace will be the most heartwarming global peace project ever. This will be the result of an intensive East-West cooperation, supported by NGOs, companies, activists, social entrepreneurs and you. MasterPeace will develop several attractive peace-building projects, including a mesmerizing concert in Cairo on Peace Day 2014, where artists from all the world’s major conflict areas will perform together; to promote togetherness, international collaboration and the reduction of (armed) conflicts. The concert will be an exclusive reward for people who actively supported (our) peace-building activities in the years before Peace Day 2014. Because peace-building is a verb.
MasterPeace will be officially launched on Peace Day 2011. MasterPeace. “Creating peace. Together”.
This is a nice short video I came across of portraits of different people living in Egypt:
A recent teasing clip from Masterpeace, somebody produced it five months ago, after the launch of the logo in front of 150,000 people.
The producer (Ralph Lindsen) didn’t say anything, so we just found it by surprise. It makes me remember this thrilling moment.
