Everyone! In a world filled with news of suffering and sadness, it’s easy to lose sight of our shared goals. In such times, should we not refocus our vision on the idea of “Happiness to Everyone”?

This means thinking beyond “for myself alone, or for others alone,” or “for my country alone, or for other countries alone,” and instead recognizing that “both myself and others (both my country and other countries) are equally vital.” (This provides a calm and balanced direction when the challenges seem overwhelming.)

Now is the time to unite and realize the vision of a future where everyone smiles!

World leaders, please share and realize this vision of a future where smiles shine on everyone, and each person enjoys a life of dignity and sufficiency, supported by universal financial support. Let us ensure that all people have access to their basic needs, equal opportunities, and a life full of fulfillment—beyond the struggles and suffering.

If we truly wish to establish justice, let us:

• Embrace the idea that “justice is ensuring everyone’s happiness.”

• Prioritize prevention, guidance, support, and rehabilitation to empower individuals.

• Focus on addressing the harm, not condemning the individual.

Furthermore, for the goal, please help bring back the smiles of those who have been harmed by unhappiness, as well as those who suffer from causing it.

To achieve this, let us foster deep understanding and compassion for the reality that imperfection exists in all of us, and anyone can make mistakes.

In doing so, we can turn struggles into opportunities for healing, growth, and joyous coexistence, creating the true foundation of peace in our communities.

Wishing for peace and smiles on everyone,

Peace Seeker: Takeo Omae
