•Please stop killing people and destroying things they need and treasure.
•Help us all work peaceably together to create good lives for everyone.
•That will take a lot of effort, creativity,
sacrifice, cooperation.
•We can, we must do it.
•The alternative is horrible, endlessly tragic.
•Let’s show each other and our children that we and they are not members of a monstrous species.
•Let’s prove that together we can transcend the past and create a humane and loving future for everyone.
•Let’s begin doing this now.
