ALL WE ARE SAYING, IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE !!!

Since my awareness has increased, I’ve noticed everyone has been talking about living in peace, I believe you have heard or said at least as much as I have or even more. John Lennon once said ‘If you want peace, you won’t get it with violence.’ This reference has inspired me. Everyone will have a different perspective of this meaning and I will be telling you mine. Why is there still violence in the world when we want peace? People are filled with hate, and they are prejudiced against each other and there is a great deal of injustice but why is that? People are unable to consider others for who they are. People dislike others who are not like them. To avoid this from happening, we must all use our voices. We need to use our voices to make change. Even if it’s just one voice because one voice can make a massive change because silence is betrayal. Instead of hating each other, we should stick together. Live together side by side. And if we do so, the world will be in a much better place. How can we bring peace? We have to bring out equality to everyone. Treat all people with respect, despite race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, culture, social background and other considerations.
