Peace Within Ourselves

Peace. World Peace. Peace within ourselves. Peace with each other. This has what the world has tried to aim for but somehow it never really seems to work. Why? I'm not sure. But I do know one thing if everyone just stays calm and talk rationally we might actually get there. But the truth is everyone is fighting with each other. Finding differences in each other. Ever since when I was a kid, I've witnessed fights on the streets, people screaming at each other just because they want the last cereal box in supermarkets. Is this all really necessary? The worst of all? World War. You see every time we have a world war. It always ends up messy and killing millions and billions of innocent people. Why do we need this? I seriously can't answer this question.

If I was to be lucky enough to be given the opportunity to create a 'New World' I would hope the society to be built around the idea of Peace. With peace, we won't have anymore fights, arguments and wars. The idea of peace would make our world a better place to live in and allow the our world to be democratic. With peace with everyone everyone would be given the chances that we all deserve. People would vote to who they think is the suitable or the right choice.

Peace would also allow our world to stop judging everyone else like you would judge a book by it's cover. Yes, we all say that we don't but who are we kidding? When we look at someone its obvious that you look on the outside and sometimes your not even bothered to start knowing the inside of that person because of his or her looks. That is wrong and we all know that. With peace, we would be looking at each other through our hearts. We would be at peace with everyone. Letting everyone get to know you.

Why do people fight? Answer. Many people say we fight because people are animals. Because we originated from the apes. Another possible answer could be because of the fact that the 'natural person' is naturally selfish. We're always thinking about ourselves. Look into your thoughts everything comes out as "I need this" and basically everything starts with "I". This causes starts to occur when people start to get selfish. Have you ever seen little kids fighting over toys? How one kid picks up something and starts playing with it and the other gets another toy and starts playing with it. Then the first kid realizes that the second kid is having quite a good time with his toy and he comes and snatches it away from him because he wants to play with it now. This is a situation when the human selfishness comes into place. Also, people love fighting because it's a sign of significance. In middle school dramas and TV shows we see fighting throughout the whole main plot. The bully beats one kid up and the rest of the kids are scared of him and he will keep bullying a different kid each week and soon the WHOLE school is aware and they think he is superior.

How can we achieve world peace? I personally think we need rules for world peace. Firstly, people have to start understanding the fact that NOBODY has the right to take a life of another human being and governments also have no right of taking a life. This is how people start thinking that they can just kill anyone they want to. People in their minds would be thinking, if the government can take a life 'WHY CAN'T I????' I should have the same rights as everyone else. So I think if we start enforcing that NO ONE has the right to kill anyone we might be a step closer to world peace. How do war occurs? Simply one has to convince their people by saying things like "The land used to be ours, so we have the right to take it back" and "They did it to us". How do we overcome this? REJECT the thinking that the land used to be ours so we have the right to take it back and citizens have to be active to prevent a war. For example in WW2. All Hitler had to say was "IT WAS THE JEWS THAT DID THIS TO US" and none of the Germans could take a stand and say 'No'.

In conclusion, Peace could be the answer to our prayers. Peace could stop all this hate, war and arguments we don't necessarily need. So lets all try to start with the idea of peace. Peace within yourself and to others.
