Strive For Peace

Have you ever heard of a man who was awarded peace as a certificate before? Have you sat under a class trying to learn what peace is and how to attain it? The answer seems so obvious to all that i need no soothsayer or a megaphone to say it louder. I have been to school for quite a long time and the matter of peace only get little attention when we are talking about conflicts and war. The idea of peace in my opinion has been underrated and its value is not seen in the lives of many people. Very much often we tend to talk about Albert Einstein, Photosynthesis and other standard topics neglecting peace.

One who is capable of killing himself can easily kill another. It is very much easy to give out what you already have. The baseline of suicide in this case is due to lack of peace.

The Story of The Peace Dwellers.
There was once a community called peace dwellers. They were a small population of people who were very much concerned about God and the things that related to him. They spent their whole life in finding things that pleased God and adhering to them. Their Joy was in the lord and they lived a long happy life. One day, a peace dweller travelled to a nearby town where hostility was paramount. His first time seeing armed robbery and he was left in pain thinking about how someone could actually take a weapon and use it to harm a fellow human being all because of money.

One professor replied, lack of peace. Indeed it is lack of peace that will make one think of such heinous act. The thought of doing something that will hurt another actually takes away peace from two people. The victim and the perpetrator if the victim hasn't prepared well enough for such an occurrence. It is therefore imperative that we all prepare ourselves to be peaceful creatures in order to prosper and live a happy live.
