What does peace mean? Is it living in harmony with the surroundings or living as per the situation demands? Are we living in a peaceful environment or do we contribute to bring peace to the community? What is your opinion about peace? It's time we start thinking seriously about it!
Well, Peace is God's gift to us which can be spread around with a helpful, kind and respectful approach. It can be achieved by a thoughtful gesture and not by the wealth in one's hand. The world has changed so much that people find less time to sit and relax. They don't have time for themselves. All are running after the goals they have to achieve in their life. Goals lead them not their mind. Olden days, when we used to live in joint families, we always had someone to talk to, share our worries and never felt alone. But sad to say, the world has shrunk in to nuclear families that their thoughts are also limited to that circle. Have you ever noticed, when you are in a worried stage, you want a calm atmosphere and an understanding person to whom you can talk to. Why so? In a peaceful atmosphere you will be able to think properly and study properly. When you enter the classroom you feel happy when your dear friends welcome you happily. When the teacher who teaches you smiles at you, you feel relaxed and more studious. Why so? The truth is that a human mind always craves for peace.
I have heard that, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." No earthly reward can be replaced with the one which man acquires from the Supreme Power. Then why we go after these earthly possessions and bring calamity to our Mother Earth? Why can't everyone be a peacemaker? If each one try to bring peace to his/her own environment then sooner or later our earth will also become another heaven. Our eminent writers and poets try to convey the need for bringing peace and it is our duty to follow that. As a student, let us take a pledge today, "Set peace everywhere and say no to conflicts."
So dear friends, understand the need for peace in this world, in our life. Help others, be kind, give respect and take respect. If we, the new generation keep quiet, how long will it take to bring smile in everyone's face? So let's start today! Good Luck!
