A meaningful peace statement expresses the benefits of turning the peace wheel. In other words, it expresses forgiveness of the past, what's wanted now, and plants a seed for the future.
For example: Perhaps you see something that is the opposite of peace to you. People fighting. You are sorry to see the people fighting, and what you want is for people to communicate, listening to each other and work out their differences without fighting. And, you would like other people (perhaps your child, or your friends to communicate, listen, and innovate meaningful solutions together). So, your peace statement might read something like this:
Where I live, go to school, work and play, may people solve their disagreements by inviting each other to listen deeply, open their minds, and laugh whole heartedly together.
