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.

People are all equal when they are born but why do people treat other people differently because of their differences? Because those people want everyone to be the same. But if we were all the same there would be no joy in this world. Some people have a hard time understanding this, so they refuse to believe that everyone is different. People are quick to judge and they always put labels on people. People are getting killed because of their differences. In my opinion, I believe that everyone’s difference is beauty.

Since the dominant classes refuse to accept necessary changes, humanity ’s current path is destructive and unfair to say the least. It is unavoidable that we will need everyone’s help to embrace change.

Change must and will happen. But it must be accompanied by inner change. A better future will be impossible without human beings who have a strong moral foundation, a deep understanding of the world and human nature, the ability to consider different viewpoints and create a synthesis, the ability to see the bigger picture and to put the

‘whole’ above their own personal interests. Our most urgent task is therefore not outer change but to bring out inner change.

There are different types of peace, I believe the most important type of peace is peace in your heart. If you can’t have peace in your heart you can’t have peace with others.
