World Peace, a line which we commonly hear from the contestants of a beauty pageant answering the question, “What is your greatest wish for the world?”. A line which remains as a line. Cease Fire, a phrase which we hear from people afflicted by war and craving for its end. A phrase which remains as a phrase. World Peace and Cease fire, a line and a phrase, which came from their mouths and our mouths. And up to now, that line and that phrase have never been put into actions. Did the world attain peace? Have the opposing armies ceased bombings with each other?
Wars are found and felt everywhere in the world. A little disagreement instantly turns to deeper problems and eventually becomes war. Wars do not happen only between warring nations or states but also between disputing neighbors. A conflict with your brother or sister may turn to war. Even if you’re not using fire arms, those wanton and slanderous words you utter against each other stir up war.
Have you ever noticed that we also have wars just within ourselves? Can’t you feel that we are battling everyday? Two forces which are always against each other tell us to do this and that. Good and evil forces are always there in our move. It’s up to us whether we follow good or the evil.
War begins and ends in ourselves. If we’re trapped in such situation, let us humble down ourselves. Refuting will not help. To discern right from wrong will help us achieve and put world peace and cease fire into actions. Above all, we could only find peace in God. Isaiah 9:6d tells us that He is the Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.
