Given In The Name Of...

A friend, Lynda Ward, started a conversation on facebook about the goal of the recent announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize. My response:

Nobel started this with the intent to award those who created peace congresses. In this day and age of facebook and twitter, perception is just as strong as reality, it seems. Can we say that we're creating reality by strengthening perception in awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the current leader of the free world, who represents hope and peace for the future?

...

We can hope that this effects positive change for international cooperation and peace, no matter the reason for the premature issue of the award.
