Dear Mr Secretary General,

In conducting research for an essay on constructive approaches to the problems of war and peace, I read a short but meaningful fable. I would like to share that story with you, as well as my ideas for a possible solution for world peace.

One day a robin asked a wild dove, Tell me about the weight of a snowflake. Nothing more than nothing was the answer. In that case I must tell you a marvelous story. the robin said, once I was sitting on the branch of a tree, close to its trunk, when it began to snow, not heavily, but lightly and quietly just like in a dream. Having nothing better to do, I began to count the snowflakes that settled on my branch. Their number was exactly 3,741,952. when the next snowflake dropped onto the branch- nothing more than nothing as you say the branch broke off. Having said that, the robin flew away. The dove thought for a while and then said to herself. Perhaps one more person’s voice is needed for peace to be realized.
