The world is full of wars, battles and skirmishes going on. Wars have been going on since yime immemorial with hardly any respite ever. Our ancient forefathers also learned to make weapons and hurt others before they even learned to even write. Even today, battles are raging in the name of nations, religions, sects of same religions, beliefs, property, language, caste, racism, capitalism, socialism etc. In fact such low scale warfare has costed more casualities than the larger theater warfare.
The smallest scale warfare is going in our own city, colony or the workplace too in form of conflicts and standoffs.
Well, it was bound to occur. How can the world be at peace, when the individual is not at peace. Two disturbed persons cant be at peace with each other.
After all, peace can not be purchased or received. It comes from the same place the disturbances come from, the mind itself!
The attempt for world peace begins actually only when I find the way to my own peace. The route is always the same- Tolerance, no judgement, forgiving and forgetting.
I first learn to be happy and peaceful with my own self and that is the hardest part. I have to accept myself as I actually am. the first person who needs forgiveness, love and compassion from me is nobody else myself.
The first mistakes to be forgotten should be my own. Then the same process with friends and family, than the neighbors and colleagues, than the colony and so on.
Peace is also contagious. If you dont believe try smiling at others. Most of your smilea will bw reciprocated immediately and do not worry, the other smiles have also done thier job as light of glowworms in the night of misery of life of yourself as well as others and So will begin the journey of peace. Only a mind truly at peace with itself will initiate the transformation.
World peace will begin only when I, you and others, we all will learn to be at peace.
