I am writing sincerely seeking your help to spread an important message of Peace. I ask that you notify as many as possible of an opportunity to better our society, our world, and ourselves.
Hello, my name is Sean M. Shaw, and I am writing a letter to you and the world asking for support. I do not need money. All I ask is for “Kindness”, and to pass the message.
I started this campaign nine years ago, however, I believe now more then ever we as a civilized people should take greater steps to better our communities and ourselves.
I am a youth counselor who works with drug addicted, behaviorally and emotionally disturbed youth. Day in and day out I listen to the despair of children about their outlook on life. Most are disenchanted with the moral integrity of our society. We preach to our children to live as fine up standing citizens, however, we give them no tangible references as to what that is. Most of the youth that I deal with claim to see more elements of violence and drugs then genuine love and affection. And this is why I need your support.
I am organizing ten seconds of peace worldwide. I am asking everyone to observe ten seconds of peace between December 31, 2008, 11:59:55 pm and January 1, 2009, 12:00:05 am. I have specifically targeted this date and time because as the year changes, it gives those who may have not started the year right an opportunity to end the year right and everyone a chance to start the New Year right.
I am asking for your support for ten seconds, not to commit any violent or hateful act and to spread the word to as many people as possible to do the same during the above time. Through your support World Peace is possible in our time, if only for ten seconds; from there we will build.
I am sending this letter to all world leaders and government bodies as well as most media and religious organizations seeking support. However, it is the everyday person that is most important. It is the people who will be the strength and soul of this event. So please join me in TEN SECONDS OF PEACE.

If a child lives with fear, he learns to be apprehensive.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident.
If a child lives with acceptance, he learns to love.
If a child lives with recognition, he learns it is good to have goals.
If a child lives with honesty, he learns what truth is.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith in himself and those around him.
If a child lives with friendliness, he learns the world is a nice place in which to live… to love… and to be loved.
