Peace is understanding the difference

Have you heard about the campaign 'Humanae'? It's a project finding out all the different skin colors and records them. I think it's quite interesting project. We usually establish a standard that there are three different skin color which is white, yellow and black. Talking about skin color might seems radical discrimination but that's normally how it is. However, according to this project, each person has their own skin color. We cannot just set up a standard with three different colors and put in all of those skin colors. The most important thing here is knowing the difference and understanding each other. We cannot ask why we have different colors. It's just how we are created. I think Peace is the same. Discussing about why we are different doesn't make any difference. It will only make big gaps between us. However, if we talk about our different culture and environment, and talk about how we can understand each other to make peace will make changes in us. This change will be the seed of peace and bring us world peace. We cannot just argue which way is the right way to world peace but it will give us the answer if we gather and share our thoughts about peace. There are lots of youth gathered in International Peace Youth Group and we are now one step forward to achieve peace in this world.
