Peace is a situation or a period of time in which there is no war or violence in a country or an area. Peace is the opposite of war. It is the absence of war.
Today on the news headlines :
"Bombing in Baghdad"
"Shootings in Bangladesh"
"20 foreigners in Dhaka siege"
"Gunman kills five people in Serbia cafe"
Violence is now in the air, terror is now mixed with oxygen. We need change agents, peacemakers. An outbreak of peacemakers is the panacea to this problem.
Everybody needs peace. Businesses can only be done in a peaceful environment. Sporting competitions and celebrations can only be done in a peaceful environment.
How to begin
A Smile : Peace begins with a smile -Mother Theresa
A smile is helpful. It eases tension. Just imagine you return an insult with a smile, what an ambience of peace it would create .
Love : Love is a strong feeling of deep affection for somebody, something, a country, a race. When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
"Gravitation is not responsible
for people
Falling in love"
- Albert Einstein
Love is a conscious effort; you can love, try to love the unlovable.
Forgiveness : It is the act of not feeling angry with someone who has done something to harm you. It's not easy. It's love in action. Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness only but because you deserve peace and you want its reign.
An helping hand : Another cause of social unrest and crime is poverty and lack which leads to crime. Render an helping hand. Support the needy and you would find the sought peace.
