I actually like writing essays. I know... Im weird!
Please tell me what you think! (If you want!)
Why is world
peace so important?
At this very moment many people all over the world are
fighting with their husbands, wives, teachers, students, friends, parents and
even with themselves. People are quite literally at war with other counties.
How is it fair that people are out, risking their lives trying to stop a war
that never should have started? How is it fair that innocent people are being
killed for trying to protect young children, young adults, parents, adults,
whole families and grandparents? How is it fair that families are being torn
apart because husbands, wives, sons and daughters are being sent to defend our
country? How is it fair that many people are mourning the loss of a family
member? It’s not fair... that is why world peace is so important today.
According to the Oxford dictionary (2014),
World Peace is a state or period in which
there is no war or a war has ended Old (2014) said “Perhaps
the prime principle of world peace is the immediate end of open warfare. If we
can achieve a Global Super Radiance
group with 8,400 TM-Sidhas meditating together in one place then we will
conflict in places like Afghanistan, Syria and Mali subside within a day or so.”
In an essay that Eggers wrote she said “Everybody
desires peace - harmony and balance forming comfortable life for themselves,
family, communities and ultimately society. Yet every person's individual ideal
of peace varies. Often it is dependent on their environmental conditions. For
example a person growing or surviving in a conflict zone may desire shelter and
protection from violence; an Indigenous tribe forced to flee their homes due to
commercial logging may desire preservation of their natural habitat. A person
in an abusive, violent relationship may desire a refuge and means to relocate.
We have a contemporary, expanded definition of 'peace' that encompasses and extends beyond human security. We understand poverty alleviation helps societies minimise crime, sickness and violence. We value the benefits of peace prevention diplomacy and mediation as we do the peace building strategies of disaster aftermath - new ways forward.
Yet what are our collective priorities for peace in society? Is it individual tranquil, prayer and meditation? Good neighbour relations? Giving our children a pristine clean environment to grow in with minimal threat?
What does peace mean to us to achieve? How do we create peace? What values for peaceful cooperation do we give priority? What are the issues in achieving peace? What will our world be like when we 'achieve' peace? Will we be peaceful alone or sharing this world? How? How important is others' peace to our own survival? How important is preserving our environment to achieving peace? What would you give up or change for the sake of peace?
The term 'peace' and its nature has many facets and many perspectives from which to view. Its ultimate definition of 'homoeostasis' can be applied in a myriad of scenarios and perhaps its achievement remains elusive when systemic model fosters the adrenal edge that challenges human stress threshold.”

September 11 has been a call to humanity, to empathize with our brother and sister countries in peace. No war can bring peace. A small child is taught every day that violence at home, or in the playground, or on the street will not solve problems, so how do our government leaders believe that violence and fear between nations will bring a lasting world peace? Surely it is not our weapons that stop war, nor escalation of violence that brings peace - it is in the simplest of heart-felt conversations between brothers and sisters of one family in oneness. So all our actions for peace are centred on the theme of how "Peace Begins with Me". “
So before I finish I would like you all to realise how important World Peace is. I don’t like to hear about murders and deaths and bombings and if we succeed to bring World Peace (which we can!) we would not hear about deaths as much as we do today. Everyone wants and needs peace and we are the people who can bring it into the world by spreading the light, making a change and in turn, making the world a more peaceful place. So, what will you do today to make the world a better and more peaceful place? After all- it’s up to us!
