This is really a good idea to promote peace and unity.
For the world to have peace it all depends on the individual and their kind of consciousness.When every individual's attitude towards peace is promoted, the whole earth will be at peace.

Your message is so obtuse it ceases to be a viable comparison to any reality!
There is no inference of choice or "obligation" pertaining to any protagonist.
Without any choice or obligation it serves no purpose or have any social redeeming value.
Had the stone had any empirical quality that innately warranted respect and loyalty predicated on some material significance to the "purple" than perhaps loyalty would have been dictated and the "color" would have represented a foundation for regard by the children, less that the only reasonable reinforcement this nonsense indicates is for blind adherence to some arbitrary empty moral relative conditioning that fosters nazi like fealty to arbitrary geography.
The only thing that is suggested here is of the futility of blind agenda rather than purposeful, positive conditioning and the potential value thereof.
This is an old psychological illustration of how prejudice can be conditioned into the naive mind, BUT in a broad brushed manner it gives no 窶彡ontext窶・ nor suggest what context 窶彡olor窶・might be a viable indicator of anything, such as a stop sign, traffic light etc! Some people are color blind and therefore the 窶徨ed窶・light is always on top, as the 窶徨ed窶・stop sign is always within a six sided plaque.
Not very deep, sophomoric at best.

We are all born whole, in spite of whatever physical disabilities some may have. But when we lose the wholeness and integrity of our minds, we see the world in bits and pieces, each separated, unrelated and opposed to the other. We then create systems of thought as well as religions that emphasize the difference between us and other people. This provides us the cover and moral justification to either eliminate those who are not like us, or who think differently from us. That is why all the religions and systems of thought in our history have been contradictory to the best in our nature----love, unity, and shared humanity. When a person is whole in their minds and heart, they naturally see and regard all people as noble and whole as they consider themselves.

I have always believed that the mark of greatness in people is not what they have that others do not have. Great people are those who recognize how common they are. They are people who can bear to live with the fact that they are as common as all other people. Our greatness is found in our common humanity!.

Sie.Kathieravealu sent us a peace message as follows.
Thank you, Sie.Kathieravealu!
----------------------------------------------------
There is trouble in Sri Lanka. It seems to be never ending. One accusing the other. The reasons given applies to both parties on most occasions.
I am a peace activist. In my opinion it is the so-called Leaders, who are professional poiiticians, created all these troubles, because they have no other way to 'control' the people for their own benefit. The 'professional' politicians do not want the troubles to end through fear of loosing their 'earnings'.
So the people have to be made aware of the true situation. Your picture story can help IF it is spread by unbiased non-politicians.
I will do what I can

Thank you for your mail!
And please be advised that the picture book is fiction and is not related to any real people.
----------------------------------------------------
Let me see if this makes me an anti-semite or what.
crystal = religion (particularly and specifically Zionism)
the purples = the Jews / Zionists
the park = The West Bank
How close is that?
LOL!

Hi Jun,
I love your ideas of making a simplistic picture book for all people to better understand world, and more importantly, self conflict. Although you claim that the "We are Special" story doesn't imply any specific peoples, it is obvious that the "Purples" who deem them selves special, are referring to the Arabs that live in Israel. The only descrepncy that I see is that the Arabs do not actually have airplanes and tanks, thank Gd. And the people that "hate" them don't throw stones or try to kill them to get into their "park". Also most of the world does seem to sympathize with the "Purples". This is due to the media propaganda. Hey if they want to dye your hair purple fine but you can't make the rest of the world dye their hair also just because your crystal says you must make them or kill them. What's that about?
Bottom line is I live here, as did my spiritual and physical ancestors did for thosands of years. What the media doesn't show you is that 20% of Israelis are Arabs and live in Israel side by side with Jews under Israeli rule, and have a very good life now that Israel is a modern country. I know because my children do play in the park with their children and I shop in the same malls with their parents.
The Arabs that you see on TV are the ones who unfortunatly got stuck behind the "Greenline" and through no fault of their own are now being oppressed by the PLO.
When factories and businesses are forced to close in "The Occupied Territoties" due to political pressures, who ends up suffering and losing thousands of jobs? Mostly Arabs who live in this area and are just trying to earn a descent living for their families just like anyone else. Unfortunately governmental bodies like the PLO and other Arab nations have much to gain by oppressing them and inciting anger and hatred and lies towards us in order to keep power.
Individuals need to step up and take control and stop letting their governmental bodies tell them what to think.
Peace and Good Luck,
Living in Ariel, Israel, trying to make a difference,
Sharonah
P.S. I would love to tell, one day when I have time, a different version of "We are Special". I hope you would consider it for your website.
Thank you, Sharonah!

If you are trying to explain antisemitism as a natural result of the giving of the Torah on mount Sinai, you should be aware of the saying of the sages of Israel that "why is it called Sinai? Because it brought hatred (Sina in Hebrew) to the world. However, the same sages were unwavering in their devotion to God and and His Torah.
Your confusion is in thinking that Jewish separateness is self imposed and arbitrary. Quite the oposite is true. It is a result of the God=-given requirements of the Torah and the necessary rejection of the dominant religion or culture popular in any time or country.
Jews have founded or lead to the founding of two if not three of the dominant religions in the world and assimilated Jews have made contributions to science and culture outrageously out of proportion to their small numbers. This has not decreased antisemitism. The oposite is true.
The least antisemitic country in he world is the US, because it is a multi-national people. Orthodox Jews are no less different from Americans than they are from French or British, who are far more anti-semitic. Your thesis is faulty as far as Israel and the Jews are concerned. And even if you were right (which you are not), your solution is national suicide and extinction. We prefer to continue and look foward to the final redemtion. Those good people that support us will earn their reward and those that oppose us will deserve their fate. It is your choice, not ours.

too simplistic
for example, the jews of western europe tried not to be different. for example, they changed their synagogue structure to that of a church and prayed in the local language.
however, nazi europe still murdered them.
today, christians in darfur just try to lead a quiet life. their only sin is to 'dye their hair purple' by being christian in a country ruled by moslems. thus they too are being murdered in their thousands.
should they stop being christian?
Thank you, H!

Valerie sent us another message, which is as follows. Thank you again, Valerie!
---------------------Apr. 29th 2009------------------------------
I wonder if another "message" that could be read into the book "We're Special" is that if you advertised your "special" status, you tend to make adversaries and I hate to say this, but I think Israel had that problem for they constantly proclaimed themselves to be the "chosen people" of "the divine powers that be."

Thank you Jean-Nicolas! - We are special
Jean-Nicolas, a peace keeper in Brussels, sent us a warm & lovely message reagarding our picture book 'We are special' as follows.
Thank you Jean! Let's change the world together!
----------------------------------------------------
A very nice and sensitive story to pass on the peace message. Sometimes War is in our heads, so deeply hidden that we keep getting trapped by ...ourselves.
A peace keeper is something to be. John Lennon would probably be singing that one if he hadn't got shot down by some idiot, just like Rabin. Hard Times though when you think of Gaza today, the rise of hatred and traumas bound to start over yet for another generation of newborn kids? How long is it going go last? Another 60 years?
HOW can we stop the madness? There is still hard work to do. This book may help kids to become aware and responsable of their humanity.
THANK YOU so much
Jean-Nicolas Maron
my 'profile' :
aged 58 cellist living in Brussels, Belgium.
also Peacekeeper. I was in Jerusalem, Bethleem and Gaza for Easter 2002 (got shelled by IDF while in the A誰da refugee camp).

Thank you, Archer!

i am an illustrator. this little book says a lot of things that i have tried to say, but it says them in a very direct way. i am in awe, and am thinking how these concepts might be expounded.
gratefully
---------We are special-----------------
o.k. we purples may make some mistakes but others are much much worse.
they are ter-ror-rists. thank heavens for the fog of war! otherwise we couldn't interogate them and their infected children legally after we turn their villages into jello. just remember we are the good guys- it could be worse! they could be doing the same things to us. and believe me they wouldn't stop at waterboarding. they would force us to legislate morality! and make us wear hats!
