Geseënde Kersfees
[edit]
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. It's been a while. Hope all is well! "Ek praat 'n ou weergawe van Vlaams wat baie soos Afrikaans lyk" ―Buster7 ☎
