P is for peace. We do not want trouble, we just want to have fun and enjoy our lives.
L is for love. We love to love and we love love. Without love, none of us could live.
U is for unity. We are a family. A tribe. We live as one massive being known as rave.
R is for respect. Respect holds the code together. Respect one another and the code will flourish. Without respect, their is no connection for unity, no ability to share love, no Peace left in our little world.
