Someday I thought, “What does peace mean to
me?”
Everybody seems to have a different ideas
of what peace is. Many sources define peace as the description of a society
where there was neither war nor social unrest. What is peace to me? What
defines peace, and what are you willing to sacrifice for it?
World peace is a wonderful thought but I
didn’t think we’ll ever see it. So, I described what peace means to me in my
life. To me, peace is a feeling of calm, warm, satisfaction and the feeling
that all is well in my world, my family, and my work.
Jimmy carter said, “Peace is more than the
absence of war. There is an inner peace that comes from personal security and
personal freedom. Peace also includes the sense of a mother and father that
children will live, that they’ll have food for them to eat, and that they won’t
be subject to a lifetime of suffering that could have been prevented.” He had
been awarded novel peace prize at 2002. Many people including him feel and know
keenly the necessity of peace, however, they couldn’t suggest an alternative
which is method of world peace.
Few month ago, I was happy to contact the
international peace youth group (IPYG) because of participating in peace
activity with effective and realizable method. IPYG’s motto is to create a
lasting change in the world through our passion and desire to see peace-loving
citizens in every nation and a united world youth.
Since I met IPYG, my thought about peace is
changed and broaden. Peace is the absence of war, not only between nations but
also between personal, and nothing should have to be sacrificed for it such as
youth, it should come naturally.
