A Call for Peace and Unity
A diplomatic address on peace and unity at an interfaith gathering.
"I believe that peace, devotion to nature, to our mother earth, and love for each other should guide our thoughts and acts."
"I believe that wars and violence are not the solution to our problems. It would be ideal if wars and armaments could be banned. But this is unfortunately a utopia, because human beings are still savages."
The Ambassador of Greece speaks at an event organized by the Hindu Center, congratulating the initiative and the assembled religious representatives. He calls for peace, love, and recognition of our shared existence on a small planet, stating human life is sacred. While expressing belief in future mental and spiritual progress, he also labels the banning of war a utopia due to humanity's enduring savage instincts.
