Peace

Once I listen to the word "peace" the first thing that comes to my mind is the peace sign that everyone knows about and the signal of both fingers. It is not just a simple drawing written on a piece of paper or a simple sign in your fingers, but it has a beautiful meaning.  Peace is to respect and Respecting is having peace. By reading this sentence one can notice that If one can be able to respect the other the other will do it back and this is the beginning of having peace for each other. Not only having respect for each other but for oneself too, and it all begins at home. How you behave at home depends on how you will behave outside, for example at school, with your friends or even with strangers. If you have peace in yourself you are most likely to show it to the others only by smiling at them, that is how you express yourself because you have peace and maybe you made that persons day with your simple smile. A good example of the theme "peace" that comes to mind is the tragedies that are going on in Juarez. Violence is the enemy of the word peace, and this is what Juarez is going through right now. Juarez has no peace anymore because of the horrible situation that has come to our homes. Theres is no respect for anyone anymore not even children, and this kids are learning many negative things just by being through this situation or just by even listening to some conversations of whats going on. Peace is all about love also. The world today is having trouble in getting love from the people and that respect that you need for yourself and for the others. A good way to be part of peace and part of the worlds love is to have respect and love for yourself and that way show it to others so they learn and love, respect and have that peace back for others. Peace is to be in a place with tranquility and respecting each other and showing love.

    I believe alot in that peace should start from our own home. If we are smiling, greeting and been polite with other people you will make everyone feel peaceful and will try to be the same way. It will make everything be better and help out to create peace around the world.

    I totally agree with you! It is sad to know that a lot of people use the peace sign but in reality it does not have a meaning anymore. I believe that society should really think about ways to bring peace back to our world for us and for future generations.

    I agree with you in how you said that peace should start with ourselves and the people who are closest to us first. It's crazy how even just a smile towards someone can help cheer them up and if we attain peace with ourselves then it will be possible for us to spread peace to those around us.
