The Theory's method of signing out made me think of this.
I do hope for peace.
This is my favorite
MIR-
The russian (and generally slavic) word for peace. If you write it like this:
MUP
It looks closer to the cyrillic letters.
I like it because the same exact word, same exact spelling, same exact pronunciation means
WORLD
So,
MIRA MIR
or
MUPA MUP
means "peace for the world"
mirnyy
or
MUPHUU
means
"peaceful"
this is the name of the town in Yakutia, Russia that I lived in for a year.
It was peaceful, and I am grateful that it was peaceful when I was there, in 1992.
Moscow had just been less peaceful.
That is my personal favorite word for peace.
Mir, mira mir, dla vcex
peace, world peace, for all.
