Introduction
The theme of this essay
is about how to
build peace in the heart and
mind. The meaning of peace itself, to me
is a situation where a person feels all-sufficient with
what they earn, thanks to the grace
they have achieved, and they want others to be
like them in achieving and getting what they
want. People who have felt the peace he would
be like a virus,
they want to always spread “peace” virus in the new host, invites others to also be
a virus. So as far as what I want to say is, peace is contagious
and chained. Maybe it is the reason of the committee, to spread the “peace” virus.
Making Peace as the World
Today, as the world grows, it’s demands to us for greater progress. People
in the past were demanding
the days about civilization growth,
and now is precisely the times that require
us to pursue the world with his progress. Are we
really ready with
these demands, with this challenges? For
younger generation, inevitably we
must prepare and get ourself ready to
"make peace" with these demands, peace with the times, be at peace with
those around our environment, and even more so at
peace with ourself. We have to
prepare ourself to be the peacemaker in this “harsh” world. I
remember what Jason Statham’s said in one of his movie, “Victory loves
preparation!”
1.
Continuously learning
Learn in the broadest sense. Reading books
of all genres
like social and political, literature, philosophy, science, culture
and others are also very helpful to soften the manners of younger generation,
our generation. To learn is to improve
the quality of each individual before joining the larger
and broader community environment as the world itself.
2.
Strengthening religious beliefs
We all know that single religion
in this world was never exist. What we
need to do is to deepen our religious beliefs while
upholding tolerance and respect
of others. I understand with certainty, no religion that teaches bad things. Strengthen our religious belief
as an individual to
then blend as a whole for the purpose of goodness
and peace in human mankind, together.
3.
Do sports
Building a healthy body will have a significant effect on the various activities
that we will do. As we know
together the proverb "Mensana en Corporesano", in a healthy body there is a strong soul. Sports also
taught us to always act like sportsmanship in competition, persistent in achieving objectives. Sports that need to be elaborated as
group game such as football, basketball,
volleyball, etc. and
also individual sports such as martial arts, athletics,
swimming and others. Sports
group is a good way to hone teamwork skills,
while individual sports good to sharpen leadership
skills in young generation.
4.
Joining social communities
Young people who have their self joining the social
community will have a kind heart, more likely
generous, and caring. They will have a
nature to lend a hand to those in need, not
awkward when required
to unity in larger society,
and has a high
social sensitivity.
5.
Befriend with nature
There are many creative and exciting ways
to befriends with
nature, for example combined
with recreation. Hikie
a mountain, a visit to the beach,
set up tents in the wild which at first only
as recreation, then
over time will growing up
our soul to preserve
the nature. To be a friend with nature
is important, as we live in the middle
of the world advances that seemed arrogant, we
as young people and the generation below us will surely always
need clean air that is free
inhaled, blue seas,
the wind that blows the clouds, green landscape
which is free from rubbish. We must always coexist
with the universe, and the simplest way
is by not throwing the slightes trashes everywhere.
Closing
I dare to
speak that the future is in our
hands, the young people who already have to
start a lot to learn. Every great journey begin as a single step, aren’t they? Through this article, we've been acting real even small.
We are already transform ourselves to be one step brighter star
in the dark of night. Let's
share...
