Albert Einstein quoted in 1931 at the California Institute of Technology: "I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace…Is it not better for a man to die for a cause, in which he believes, such as peace, than to suffer for a cause in which he does not believe, such as war?"
I measure this quote everyday. Are the lives of a few worth the lives of an entire world?
I rub my tried weary eyes as I look around my study. Warm flickers of sun rays shines through the windows. The rays illuminate photographs on my walls.
Laughter explodes from somewhere outside the four walls that surround me. I look to the window, leaning far enough to the side I am able to see an array of three youth clustered together. A little further out I see the other two dripping wet emerge from the little brook that flows behind my hidden home.
At first a small smile attempts to creep across my face. Deep down I feel laughter struggling to be expelled.
I shake my head as I watch Jason dripping wet from head to toe, check over the smallest member of the team Keyop. Satisfied the small boy is unharmed, Jason steers him into the direction of the only female on the team Princess, so named because she is the ruler of peace between them.
My smile spreads, as I watch Mark and Tiny take charge of the old log bridge that must have finally collapsed with I assume Keyop.
I begin to laugh as I watch the unlikely team I have assembled and groomed for our future.
The leader, the will power, the peace, the desire, and the strength stand assembled before me.
And so it begins we will fight for peace.
