Some of the people she met had fears of certain things. One woman was afraid of cats.

Peace gave this woman a kitten and asked her, "Are you afraid of this?" The woman answered, "No. It is so small!" Peace then told her to feed it and to play with it. Slowly the kitten grew into a big cat, and the woman was no linger afraid of cats.

Peace once met a young girl who was afraid of the dark. Peace told her that she could get rid of that fear by slowly getting to know things about the dark. For example when she was afraid to go to sleep in the dark, she could begin thinking of the dark as a friendly place, as a loving and tender place that is restful.

"You can begin by looking at the stars at night; at the same time think of the spiritual and creative Power that created you, and who also created the stars and the dark."

A young mother brought her 4 year old daughter to Peace Pilgrim and asked Peace to tell her daughter what was good and what was bad. Peace told the girl never to hurt another person but to find ways to love and help others.

"Bad is anything that hurts you or others. If you eat junk food it can hurt you, so that is bad. Good is anything that helps you or others. If you pick up your toys, that helps your mother, so that is good."
