Translation

Hi, my name is Jaime, they call me Jimmy. I would like to speak about to specific topics: the World March and the world, which I find relates to the other two [suggested] topics [of] how I relate to this march and how the future looks like in relation to this march. I believe the World March for Peace is one of a handful of acts that are being carried out today, found around a movement of transition, the current culture of transition  which is globalization. [cut] I find that we are in a planetary culture, that we are reorganizing towards a culture of transition. and I believe the culture of transition is defined as a culture of peace. Peace understood as all forms of sustainability, every kind of harmonious relation with the environment, and the environment includes all human beings as part of the biosphere [because] we are not foreign to nature but we are part of it. And currently global warming tells us that the primary cause are not gases but our relationships. So how do we improve our relationships, how do we improve [them] and learn to live a culture? I believe that is what we have to do. I believe this is a big step, beyond what is shown and visible, to be able to meet and be able to converse about the steps we must follow, as the many organizations that endorse this, to be able to establish an agenda and maybe clear stages to continue meeting up, continue to dialogue, and weigh in, be taking into account, and generate this transition. I believe this is very important. The World Health Organization approach it as healthy municipality, the environmentalists approach it as permaculture, and education and other themes approach it as culture of peace. So how do we these three axes to generate a movement for transition, and come together in that movement from environmentalism, from spirituality, from education, from the family. It is important that there many not be leaders today but make it so each one is his own leader. We need to learn how to educate people [in] this, in returning to a personal responsibility and [the notion] that one has a commitment thats stems from having been born on this earth. And one has to carry out that commitment everyday through decision making, and at each step one can decide between being peace and not being peace, and to be or not to be violent. I prefer peace to be the path, before violence, a Mother Theresa of Calcuta would say.
