Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words – Demonstration September
As each month, on the 12th of September, the demonstration against the blood feuds phenomenon promoted by Operazione Colomba took place in the pedestrian area of Shkoder. The symbolic gesture proposed by Operazione Colomba volunteers was inspired by Ghandi’s Mantra that invites to keep the thoughts positive because in a virtuous cycle they generate positive actions.
Keep your thoughts positive
Volunteers invited people to choose one of the negative thoughts stuck on a poster, to tear it off and throw it away. In this way they could free their positive thoughts and discover the one hidden under the black cardboard they had thrown away.
To whom did the symbolic gesture, Operazione Colomba volunteers gave a parchment with a Ghandi’s Mantra:
Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior.
Keep your behavior positive, because your behavior becomes your habits.
Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.
During the demonstration, 400 flyers were distributed and 115 people took action and did the symbolic gesture. As each month, some volunteers of the youth group contributed to the realization of the demonstration.
