Reflection
Choices are the decisions we make in life. Some choices turn out to be positive while others may prove to be negative. Our lives are made up of the series of choices we make from day to day. Our choices have great significance and impact as they relate to the peace and nonviolence we create in our lives and the spheres we move in. By choosing to be respectful, considerate, thoughtful and accepting, you are contributing to a nonviolent society. |
