"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
Those who "hunger and thirst" for a change, are people who are willing to work hard to acquire what is needed. To live this Beatitude, one must yearn for justice and peace for all. In order to attain this desire, one must have a mind that is continuously working to obtain this justice and peace.
Anyone can have a "hunger and thirst for righteousness." All that a person need is a persistent mind and the will to obtain justice and peace through the consistent practice of peace and justice.

I agree with your saying that "one must yearn for justice and peace for all." Also, I agree that one must work hard for justice and peace. But one important thing that I think you left out was that God will satisfy those who try to obtain peace for all.
Once again, thank you for taking your time to respond to this post.
After some consideration, I agree with you that God would "satify those who try to obtain peace for all." Like in the otehr Beatitudes, God rewards those who continuously work to make the world better.
I agree that any person can have a hunger and thirst for righteousness. It peoples choices that make the difference. You could choose to fight for justice or you could choose to stand back and let bad thing keep on occuring.
I thank you, Peter, for your consideration and comments on this post.
