Peace, in the sense of the absence of war, is of little
value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will
not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner
of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost
their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation
in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human
rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where
individuals and nations are free.
Dalai Lama
