A stunning annoucement, not only for the world but for the man himself. As usual the negative spin doctors in the media are looking for the downside to an incredible hope. Although he certainly does not measure up to past recipients in the breath of their work, he is a person embodied with the greatest potential for peace. So, why not focus on the honor and potential of the prize.
I took in every word of his acceptance speech...he understood that what he is embarking on may not be fulfilled in his life time...I like that, it is realistic and it shows the understanding that although he won the prize, what has to be accomplished cannot be finished by one person...it is going to take a huge group effort, a shift in the world's divisions promoted by religion and the understanding that the god everyone kills for, is really mankind...exsisting as the same essence within us all. It is a huge undertaking and he has aged in his short time as president.
So I challange everyone in my small sphere to look to the future with hope and not get sucked in the negative vortex promoted by the media and those who live in a cup half empty world...it is an incredible challenge for a man to accept the Peace Prize in the morning and paricipate in a War Council in the afternoon.
