What part of the world do you belong to?

War or Peace. Which one is more familiar to you? Why is that? These days, when we turn on TV, there are lots of news that's related to wars. It could be the one that doesn't related to your country but it is still related to us because it is happening in our world.

Let's go back to the past and think about the world war 2. Did it only effect the country where the world war was happening? No. there were lots of countries where they support soldiers, food, necessaries and etc. War is not the problem for one countries. It is our problem.

In contrary, there were also people who were trying to achieve peace in the world. For example, Gandhi, Mandela and Mother Teresa. They tried in many different ways to achieve bring world peace in this world. Not only them but also others who had same thought participated with them, hopping for world peace. However, what was the result? As you look around, there are still wars going on around the world. I'm not saying that movement was a failure, but it was not enough to bring complete world peace in this world. Then, why? Were their effort not enough? or Was it wrong way to achieve peace? No, I think it is because we didn't try it together. Like I mentioned in the front, achieving peace in not the homework for some people but ours. Each of us has our duty to achieve peace. We need to try together to bring world peace in our life.

For the leaders, because they have power to communicate and negotiate with other country's head, they should try to maintain peaceful relationship.

For the youth, as the central force to influence in the world, they need to get together and be the head of peace work. Which means, Be the peacemakers instead of being a soldier.

Lastly, for women, as a mother of the earth, they should stand for peace and support their men and children. To take care of them and also the others so that everyone is in peace.

Which part do you belong to? What kind of duty do you have? For me, as a youth, I join International Youth Peace Group and participate lots of peace work. I feel very responsible for this and I am looking forward that one day, we all smile in peace.
