John Lennon

To me the most inspirational and most interesting thing about John Lennon is that he never gave up on hope for peace until the day he died. He stood up against the government to try to promote peace for the country. "He aspired to have his music interpretated in such a way that people would join together to build a stronger, more peaceful society, by way of social activities  including anti-war protest and peace movements." His ideas could motivate and teach us how to become a more peaceful society. You are supposed to love your neighbors, not fight with them or hate them.
