The term peace has is used in everyday life in so many different ways; as in war, in friendships, by doctors, by teachers, by students and many others.
Peace can be a greeting, or possibly freedom from war; it can be tranquility, or even a state of mental calmness, and of course peace of mind. The first way I would define peace is having freedom from war. The first evidence of the word peace being used was in a written truce to end the Battle of Kedesh in 1274 B.C. There is an ancient stone where a treaty was inscribed and in it they use the word “Pes”, meaning to agree to retreat from battle, is used.
In a country, Peace is a term that most commonly refers to an absence of aggression, violence or hostility. Peace isn’t the absence of violence but rather the presence of justice. In a society, peace happens when different desires are in one agreement. Peace is based on many things, culture, education, family values, experience, & history.
Peace is the feeling that all's right with the world. When everyone around in our family, friend circles and out neighborhood is happy, eager to love, accept and related we feel at peace.
Also, to us it means following what our heart says and sharing mutual trust and respect for people around us. However, in today’s world, peace and harmony face various threats. Terrorism, regional imbalance, economic disparity, and social inequality are some of the factors which threaten peace today. We all are so engrossed in our busy lifestyles and yet want our lives to be peaceful.
We expect that peace to be omnipresent but what we need to realize is the fact that if we want to bring peace in our country Afghanistan we need to bear and accept the existence of each other, we need to unite ourselves and make a common platform for the different races living in our country.
It’s not enough to stand around asking if world peace will ever happen because that won’t do anything. Actions speak louder than any words. If everyone starts living the peaceful, in loving way, things will change. But someone has to start and lead by example.
