The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be
?WHAT IS PEACE
?HOW WE CAN GET IT
?WHEN WE FIND IT
?WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH IT
?What is the first thing comes in your mind when you hear this magical word
Its a word of just 5 letters but has a lot of deep meanings
the meaning can vary for ones own self,But.when hearing this pure wonderful word, all of us feeling the satisfied souls the quiet sleep nights the generous and the tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
Peace must be more than the absence of war.I think it’s naive to pray for world peace if we’re not going to change the form in which we live.
What we should do with it ? simply if you bring a seed peas and put it in a gold glass, would you expect it to multiply and nourish? of-course not, but if you plant it in the ground and supply it with the elements it needs it will multiply and flourish and it would spread to a whole field. in this way it will nourish yourself and many around you.
In the Middle East region many families and people had been suffered since decades from conflicts and wars whether Muslims,Jews or Christians. Everyday all of us expect to face unrespect ,being injured,forbidden to move freely,getting bombed in a bus or a mall center,crushed by a car or being shot while walking to your church or synagogue or masque. Could you imagine how wonderful it would be when all of this being erased and living without terror or fear. We all know how the world becoming so complex and there is a constant internal fights in your mind, good versus evil.we could win this internal war by controlling it and let the good things take the advantage and spread it to the external world.
Imagine yourself living in the middle east after 10 years of peace. where there is no wars no walls no checkpoints and no fear. practicing your religion freely without judging ourselves.
Economically:
Economic development, business and peace are mutually reinforcing.
economic growth always depends on the customer confident and ultimate confident can be obtained only by living in peace on that area.
enormous development would be obtained benefiting all of us by exchanging products and common trading, How new structures might be created to meet the needs of each,Departing from the rosy proclamations of a new Middle East built on economic complementarity. though The Israeli products quality are well known and competing the European products.
on the other side the rich elements and Raw materials and large working hands found in the Arab region.and with the cooperation of both sides will create the largest force on the land.
Tourism also is an important point to grow up our economic situation by bringing peace to our land, tourist from all the world with different religion will have no fear and no hesitation to come and enjoy our land which fulfill there desire and passion in many sides, either religious or nature or our unique traditions.
one of the most important point in the economic growth obtained by peace is saving the military spending’s which could be estimated approximately 700 billion $ during the 90’s.
these big numbers of money could turn our land to a paradise if simply we accept to hear and share advantages of each others.
Education:
researches had concluded that empathy of learning and skills improvement were positively related to living in a life away from conflicts and aggressiveness.
.common researches and skills sharing were always showing a successful results.
since decades jews and arabs showed the biggest progress in the technology and information’s fields
health care and medical fields obligate the necessity of sharing studies and skills fundamentals.
What we must learn as the first step towards peace is SELF PEACE..
inner peace refers to a state of mind, body and mostly soul, a peace within ourselves. People that experience inner peace say that the feeling is not dependent on time, people, place, or any external object or situation.When we learn to remain at peace with ourselves we will be at peace with the rest of the world.
related to this point comes the most civilized word which the Yala Peace institute is truly concerned to teach us about, what is : DIGNITY,
dignity is respect,
?who doesn’t want to be treated fair
if we give people dignity, there will be a space for their creativity and their positive effects on the world
when you treat others well ,in fact you are strengthen your own dignity in reverse.
and if you violate others dignity you should take the step and say sorry
as we all came to this world equally valuable
no one can say to a newborn child you are invaluable.
have you ever ask yourself that one of the children that had been murdered by conflicts could be the world rescuer from AIDS or cancer or any side of a person life or health.
