Peace

WHAT I THINK ABOUT PEACE

Peace. What is peace? I think, peace is  when every human being can respect and appreciate all the things done by others, but of course with certain limits. Peace begins with our willingness to accept differences. Neither the differences in religion, race, ethnicity, race, opinions and many more differences that we will meet in this life.

I believe there is not religion that doesn’t love peace. But why a lot of upheaval or conflict between different religious communities? That's because it does not imply any religious believers understand the truth about peace. Every human being with nature brings, sometimes feel arrogant of him and can not accept thedifferences that should not to be questioned.

I am a Muslim, but this is one of the quotes that I mostly like about peace:

"If we have no peace, it is Because We have forgotten that we belong to each other." -Mother Teresa (Christianity)

From the quote above, we would be awakened that the actual existence of a human being does not mean anything  without the presence of another human being. We, as inhabitants of this earth, regardless of religion, race, tribe, nation, we have each other. What is the meaning of this life if without a friend? We as humans, sometimes forget that a friend is not the one who always had the same thing to us, but the people who have differences that eventually can complement each other.

"Peace can not be kept by force, it can only be Achieved by understanding." - Albert Einstein

Yes, that peace can not be imposed. Everyone should be aware of and understand in advance and put aside all ego and vanity to be able to realize that peace is the most wonderful way to unite all the differences.

"Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater Heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and much more perfect purity of conscience. "-Thomas Merton

It is not easy to create peace in the world. The necessary self-awareness, humility and love one another. There are some things we must finally accept without question anything.
