"Peace is not just the absence of war. The burden of peace is to provide basic human needs precluding the need to fight for these things. Cean water, adequate food, cultural and religeous tolerance, justice, education for all children, freedom, acceptance, dignity and humanity are among the foundation benches for peace. They are the Burden of Peace."
