Peace is not an absence of war

First of all,we need to understand what peace and war are before talking
about this subject.
Peace is a term with a deep meaning.Every single person needs it in their life.But,the world we
live in is defined by lack of peace,argues and violence.
War is a state of conflict between two parties which usually consists of sustained aggression and
mortality.Doesnt sound too well,right?
The first and second world wars were the most horrifying moments in human history,killing almost
100 million people.Even if we cant hear cannons or guns blazing all over the streets,being
frightened of looking through the window,today people are getting killed one by one by stress and
monotony.You know,there is a theory saying that dinosaurs died of boredom.Who knows,maybe it
is true,maybe not.Benjamin Franklin once said Many people die at twenty five and are not buried
until they are seventy five.Obviously,this is not a war taken with weapons,but one with yourself.
Then,who didnt hear about the elections war in America between Donald Thrump and Hillary
Clinton.I recently heard a joke.It sounds like this:If a plane with Donald Thrump and Hillary Clinton
crushes,who survives then?The answer is pretty simple: America.I think this is the kind of joke
that makes you laugh not because it is funny,but because it is the ridicolous sad truth.
It is up to us to take care of this planet. It is our only home, we must globally warm our hearts and
change the climate of our souls and realize that we are not apart from nature, we are a part of
nature. And to betray nature is to betray us, to save nature, is to save us. Because whatever
you're fighting for: Racism, Poverty, Feminism, Gay Rights, or any type of Equality. It won't matter
in the least, because if we don't all work together to save the environment, we will be equally
extinct.Instead of fighting for territory and economical power,we could just live as one.
You would probably say that Im just a dreamer,but I believe in a world where wed have just a
religion,just a language and all the countries would disappear.Our world could live as one big
family.But staying in chairs ,complaining about how bad our situation is,,wont change
anything.Every single person should stand up,take a cold shower and then try to change
something not only in there life,but in others life too.
Albert Einstein once said Everybody is a genius,but if you judge a fish by its ability toc limb
trees,it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.School,nowadays,not only forces fish toc
limb trees,but toc limb back down and do a ten kilometre run.Everything has evolved in the last
few decades,except school.This system just trains people work in factories.It makes them sit still
six hours a day,give them a short break to eat,raise your hand if you want to speak and tell them
in all this time what to hink.Oh,and they have to compete for a 10.This doesnt determine the
inteligence of someone,but it can be interpreted as a grade A meat.And heres the kicker,boys
and girls,the school system in Finland outstands any other one in the world.They dont give
homework and focus on colaboration,instead of competition.In other words,the finnish school
system wants people to live in peace,not war,because it is made for people,b people.
In the end Id like to say that if I could make world a better place to live in,I would give a
law,asking people tos mile at each other every moment for the rest of their lives.It may sound
silly,but this is a world where I want to live,one where fish are no longer forced to climb trees.
