Peace is not given, it is realized
Introduction
“Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where the people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free.”-Dalai Lama
Searching is an act of looking for something or someone that we don’t find. Our life is a quest, we have to search for everything in life. At present, we have everything expect peace in the world. We have learnt sophisticated skills with the help of the most advanced technology, but yet, we have terribly failed in establishing peace. We are able to comprehend the mystery of our galaxy but struggling to understand our true nature. Knowing our true nature is very vital to our existence because without knowing ourselves properly, we will not be able to know what we are really need of. Do we really need of peace? And do we Search for peace? Can we give meaning to our life without peace in our hearts and minds? How can we experience real peace in an anxious world? Does every one of us like to live a peaceful life? Answer is yes, but then, how can everybody have peace, love, and harmony in their life? Does the absence of war bring real peace? Are we able to find real peace in the uncertain future? There are so many questions but I don’t know whether my quest for peace will answer all of my unanswered questions. It doesn’t matter whether I will find answers or not, but I won’t stop searching for peace until I die.
The world is feverishly working to build the things of war,
The world is preparing destruction of kind of unknown before,
I hear much cursing of enemies, and arguments increase.
But, oh, the world is longing, is yearning,
Is praying for peace-for peace! –Peace Pilgrim, p. 97.
We are praying for peace because we don’t have it in the globalized world which is yet slave of communalism, racism, religious fundamentalism, fanaticism, and consumerism. We are searching for a Peaceful world where people are
