Peace...

There have been numerous wars and armed conflicts throughout the history of mankind. The use of violence as a means to settle conflicts was most clearly seen in the two world wars of this century where millions of lives were lost in a conflict over seemingly puerile issues which could have been resolved b peaceful negotiation. Many people are sceptical at the prospect of everlasting peace and their cynicism leads them to scoff at others who wish for peace in the world. I strongly feel that cynical people who do not believe in peace are basically just too jaded about life. Their failure to appreciate the desire for peace stems not form a strong conviction against its possibility, but, rather from a fear that they would be seen as a weak and idealistic people. It is such so-called 'realistic' and 'rational' people who prevent peace from becoming a reality, as they feel that violence is justified and necessary. If everybody is willing to work out conflict by consensus and discussion, than war becomes absolutely unnecessary. Imagine two world leaders at opposite fronts, but who are, nevertheless, both committed to peace. The very probability of conflict and war between them and their parties would become much lower, if not none at all. If however, only one of them is sceptical and cynical over prospects of peace than he may opt for the easy way out; which is to wage war. The ideal has to be firmly believed before it can become a reality. If Columbus never believed in the New Land, then he would never have stumbled across America. It is absolutely important that a person should hope and believe that peace is a possibility for it to become reality. If no one in the world talks about peace, then it would never come about. Only by taking this first step of convincing ourselves on the possibility of world peace, can we move forward and create more concrete measures to make it a reality. Although wars have occurred frequently throughout human history, it does not mean that it has to be a permanent feature forever. Instead, we should try to change and adapt so that progress of the entire human race can be achieved. All we have to do is hope and believe.And,always want to be peaceful everyday don't care what time is it.
