Building Peace.

Many individuals around the world have different beliefs on building peace. A lot of them say there going to help people but never actually do. There’s a difference from saying you going to do something rather than actually doing it. The man in this video Greg Mortenson was very inspirational. He stumbled into these strangers when he was ill and they nurtured him back to health. Although these people lived in poverty they still helped him. During the time of his rehabilitation he got a chance to look around. He would see the constant struggles people had to face with daily and decided to create a way of helping those in need. What caught his attention was the children's strong desire to acquire an education. He believed that by creating schools for the less fortunate was a way of bringing peace. Although he knew there would be obstacles along the way such as poverty, gender discrimination, and tradition he still decided on pursuing his goal. In order to provide schools for them, he needed money. An elementary in Wisconsin made a positive impact by creating an organization called "Pennies for Peace" as a way to help raise money, their contribution helped. Part of his goal was also to educate the women. Due to gender discrimination they weren't allowed to go to school. Thanks to the help of Greg Mortenson it all changed. When you see the measures an individual is willing to go to aid someone is enlightening.

Peace.

What is peace? Peace is a state of matter where everyone is pleased with each others actions. It is very powerful but its also very difficult to obtain. It has been a conflict that has been going on for years. Since early time people have made protest for tranquility. The hippies we're well known for such matters. Everyone wants peace but no one really understands the meaning of it. For example, the whole reason for war is to bring peace among each country. That in itself is contradicting. How do you want to bomb the other country and hurt your rivals to obtain peace? Over time people have learned to make the most of it. Individuals have found ways to acquire some kind of peace, like inner peace. Since there hasnt been peace in the enviroment people try to find peace of mind to feel comfort. Inner peace basically has to do with being relaxed mentally. The people that manage to find inner peace are extremely lucky. I believe that it is so hard to gain it because if it was so easy you wouldn’t appreciate it and get that fulfillment once its obtained. The way you appreciate something is over coming obstacles along the way making it difficult to get where you want to get. The way in which society deals with situations I dont think there will be a point in which there will be peace in the world.
