What does peace mean to me?

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.

IPYG, Effort to Recovery of Human Dignity

I was so pleased and happy to get to know IPYG, International Peace Youth Group.
I  am so excited  that we can leave a peace to our next generation and be a peace maker!

 I had seen a video about the evils of war.
A documentary reporter had taken that video when he had been in the war place.
 There was a boy who didn’t eat a piece of apples but went to a corner.
 The reporter was curious so chased him.
 He could see a dying baby with a too swollen  stomach unusually for the famine.
The boy went to his younger brother and gave an apple to him.
 Though he was starved, he wanted to save his dying brother.

 We know that war violates human dignity and leaves only sacrifices of youth and kids.
 The chairman of IPYG claims that Why is young life thrown away without having had a chance to bloom because of war?”

How nice the words are!
 I agree to their request that the head of every country should sign an international agreement to bring all wars to an end.
 He says We can be one in one truth, before one God,  and make a world peace. We can join in his peaceful movement! I certainly believe it is our mission as a youth in the world!

IPYG for Peace, the mission for our dreams!

What do think about peace?
Someone said 'peace is healthy state to conduct and establish something' .
in other  words, peace can be refered to possibility to fulfill human's specific dreams.
But all over the world, who can dream a dream getting aside few people.
Many of people are at risk of massacre and genocide.
The tragedy happened in this time. We are very sad to watch those videos.
Orphans remains. The poor children weep beside their dead parents.
Oh it is heartaching sadness.
IPYG was born notwithstanding this tragedy of the world.
IPYG has courage to have direct contact with former and current presidents all over the world.
Morever the chairman toured around the world 10 times in order to meet terrified youth intimately.
So 270 youth groups are currently affiliated with IPYG.
Who can argue the cause of international war?
Who can tour around the world to seek refuge and descarded people all over the world.
I am proud of Korea.
Because we were afflicted under historical hardships but we can afford to embrace and understand by our chairman.
Our chair man has ingredients to fulfill peace all over the world.

What is IPYG & Why am I joined IPYG?

I am one of the youth
who wants to live with happiness. So When I was a university students
I experienced a lot regarding helping poor and elders because I thought that was the most worthy and I will be happy helping the poor.
But there was no hope anymore.
I felt so empty even if
I have done those things.
That was why I changed my major from volunteering to the peace and conflict of humen.
However,even this major also there was no any conclusion. I really worked hard to get full happiness but as always so far the truth love seemed never come true. That time I got one so precious calling from one Peace youth group,IPYG which is International peace youth group. Actually  I have many experiences about many organizations and I already joined many , too.
So, that time I felt IPYG also just another normal organization which has no solution for the world peace. But they were totally different. They have strong minded for World peace and this members of IPYG were so energetic and have very warm hearted for anyone in the world. They have more than 250 organization partners in 75 different countries with them.
They proclaimed that they just want this world to be in full of happiness, true love  and peace. I have not really known about other countries and people. But this IPYG has gathered all people in the whole world.
And I could know and started to care about all other country's members and the thing there are too many who are in danger.
I asked to the member of IPYG like this below.
Then how can I help them who are in charge?
I am just one youth not a politicians or anyone who has a high fame.
But I love your desire for world peace by wanting for nothing.
Then they answered through this question like this.
If you really long for a peace ao far, no matter what is your position is of course you can join working for peace and added more.
The world peace is not just for one person. This is for everyone's right and responsibility so we all must join to be a peace activitist each of us.
This answer hit my head and one thought came in my head.
We all actually really had to be peace activists. Then,we haven't thought about this and why we have been fought so far? What for?
In the world there are too many tregedy and cruel events happen everyday.
We absolutely needed to bring the truth peace.
However, there were no exact answer for this question.
Really amazinglly, IPYG had the answer for the sincere love and peace.
I will be also one of the members for peace and want to be as a partner with IPYG. They are awesome youths. I do respect their own ideas.

IPYG, International peace youth group - 1st commemoration of World peace

I have been to the event of  1st commemoration of World peace which is held by IPYG, International Peace Youth Group. I was so excited to participate in this Peace walk after I saw the video of IPYG’s activities for one year since it has been  organized.
 Before I join this peace walk, I could to see the video of walk peace last year.  IPYG claimed “Why is young life thrown away without having had a chance to bloom because of war?” I,  a  descendant of sacrificed youth in war, could agree to their request that the head of every country should sign an international agreement to bring all wars to an end. 

 I went to the UN cemetery with my foreign friends which is only one place in the world that commemorates Korean war in 1950s. In this memorable place, 10,000 people gathered for Peace walk! Everybody heard the speech of the IPYG’s chairman and watched the messages  sent from the leader of the organizations over the world. We all clapped and started to walk together yelling the word “Peace”

I could feel it is the “Power” to make a peace. In this performance, we could become advocates of Peace which  the chairman asked to us.
I am looking forward to see the summit which all leaders of the world will gather to discuss about Peace. The chairman proclaimed it the summit for the world alliance of religions for peace!
I  will let my friends all over the world know this works for peace. I hope all people live in the world of peace like nature blesses all lives. 

IPYG 1st Annaul Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace

1st Annaul Commemoration of the Declaration of World Peace
A Cloudy Day,
I was take part in IPYG activity at UN Peace Park.
When I arrived,
I can see many people were gathered at the Memorial Tower of the UN Park
I guess famous actor like Jackie chan would come and give a message to his fans
so, I was so curious about the person. So I had come to the front of stage and listen his
message.
At that time, I can find a Chairman who speakes with intensive intonation
It's ceremony day is 1st Annual Commemoration of the Declaration of World
Peace by the banner of the stage
the Chairman stood at the stage as main speaker in front of many crowded people
He strongly emphasized worldpeace must be achieved in our world first so that
God can reign his world.
he requested to audience at the park "Come and be advocate of Peace!"
and also he tells about his episode of his worldtour of peace to the participants
The main point of his episode is, He met a lot of worldleaders, monks, Immam
and suggest them be the part of peacemovement, then they were very pleased
with his suggestion and signed written agreement of Peace
Furthermore, he will be held Conference called
"the summit for the world alliance of religions for peace"
I was very surprised of his message
I've never listened that kind of message and that behavior above.
What an Amazing thing happened in this world!
All worldleaders will come to Korea!
There are many peace activist and organization in the world
But they cannot give peace to the world and their actions were temporarily
And recall the memory of history in the past, there is no one trying to achieve
Peace with conversation and Peaceful Communication
In history of world. There are so many wars in the world.
The reason why War generated is almost the difference of people's thinking
and religious position
After his message, Many people were wavering their national flags and give
cheers to Him
I think If worldpeace would be achived completely in this world, All people in the
World were celebrating and Give Cheers to God and each other
In Ceremony, Many youth organization gives a celebration by video to Host
I can feel many people want to have peace in the world.
After ceremony, White Suite person come down from the stage. And leads
Walkathon around Busan
I also participated in Peace Walkothon and wavering national flag with my friend
I feel so strong about ceremony and walkathon
How can I support to worldpeace?
Peace must be achieved at this wonderful era! Please!
