The 3 key concepts of Grains of Peace

Imagine that you are in the middle of a tensed situation, or violence… Or that someone pushes you, insults you , humiliates you…

Instead of saying or doing things that will nurture the fire, have the right reflex, the peace reflex !

Learn what a peace reflex is in our Peace Dictionary, and then get inspired by real examples lived by persons just like you : in a few microseconds, or after a long reflection, they found a brilliant idea or simply the right words, cunningly parried an attack, or found a creative way to turn around a difficult situation.

Offering a peace reflex to your interlocutor helps him/her to calm down, which will probably calm you in return. And if your physical integrity is at stake, sometimes stimulating your imagination and be somehow brave is enough to turn the situation around and become a hero…

Human values are a very powerful inspiration for peace. They permit us to connect to the other’s humanity and help us putting into practice our moral values if they are weak in a conflict situation.

Can violence be unacceptable? If our desire for peace in our interpersonal, social and collective interactions is truly sincere, then, the starting point has to be to give ourselves the personal goal that violence, in all its manifestations, becomes unacceptable for us personally.
