If you really love someone and want that love to grow, perhaps you give them chocolates or flowers and take them somewhere romantic. In time maybe the gift extends to a car and a house, but you don't start with the big things if the little things are to be valued and cherished.
For a black man to become president, first a white man cannot be allowed to enslave a black man, they must travel, eat, work and vote together. For a woman to be Prime Minister she must first be offered the same pay and the same vote as a man.
Starting with the little things, any great revolution can be accomplished. To effect great change overnight is to invite foreboding.
If there should ever be peace and justice across all mankind, the first thing to go will not be the capacity for great destruction, but the smaller weapons, the strategic deployments and the objection of all nations to vulnerability. And then no-one should be much the more vulnerable having forsaken a grenade here, an opinion there and having opened minds to the end of violence. If there should ever be peace and justice, it must start at the beginning.
Peace begins with a smile.
