Personal
communication, smiles, greetings, simple human kindness are a theme
today, but the goal is to build world peace by starting small and
local and personal. The people who created this event, which
is observed by people in 180 countries, say, “Greet ten people for
peace.”
Apparently
this event was inspired by the conflict between Egypt and Israel in
the fall of 1973. Sigh. These days, as you know, there is still
conflict between Israel and its Arab and Persian neighbors, and we
all want the Gaza conflict to end as quickly and peacefully as
possible. I guess there is as much need for a World Hello Day as
ever!
