The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") is observed around the world on 21 September. Established in 1981 by United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace.
SIMPLE THINGS CAN BUILD PEACE ON 21 SEPTEMBER – PEACE
DAY
Our lives are made up of day to day
experiences and interactions, so every day we have the chance to make someone
else’s life better. To build a more peaceful and sustainable world, we need to
build peace in our everyday lives.
No matter how small, everyday acts of kindness
can help make peace a reality; whether it is standing up for somebody in
trouble, saying sorry, reconnecting with an old friend, or helping someone you
see who’s in need of assistance. Of course, random acts of kindness should take
place all year round, but we would like to invite you to join with others
around the world to give this wonderful idea special focus on Peace Day 21
September.
Wherever you are, at home, school, or work,
you can help improve the quality of the lives of the people around you,
including your family, colleagues, teachers, classmates or friends. Sometimes
the simplest things can have the most immediate and meaningful impact on the
lives of everyone around you.
So on Peace Day 21
September…
What can you
say to make peace with someone?
What can
you do to make peace with someone?
Who will you make peace with?
What do you think people should do in order to live happily in peace?
Imagine (John Lennon)
Hello. In my opinion the international day of peace is a very good tradition for people, but there is a big problem. I don’t think, that peace is possible in our world now, because of lots of groups, that can’t support each other ideas. For example religion and politics. There are too much wars between countries with different opinions on political and religious views. People are dying for this views. How John Lennon sad in his song “imagine”, that we are only dreamers, but if everyone believe this dream, peace in the world will be possible.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sasha’s comment. It is very scary when a person forgets that all people are equal.
ReplyDeleteDifferent skin color, religion or nationality cannot be the cause of hatred. On the contrary, a person has the opportunity to touch another culture, customs and traditions, learn more and expand his horizons.
Yes, of course, we now live under a peaceful sky, we can work and study quietly, we don’t know what war, cold and hunger are. But it was not always so. It is terrible for all people, nature and the future, which may not exist after new wars.
It's time to learn how to all people live in peace and harmony with themselves and others.
But what is peace?
This word is familiar to everyone from an early age. The world is all that surrounds us. The world is a good relationship between man and the environment. The world is a calm and carefree life. As I have already said, all people are different, and this is normal and each person has their own values and goals: someone they are material, someone spiritual, but still the most important human value is the world. After all, only in peacetime can a person live peacefully and develop in different directions, love and achieve his goals.
It's great that we invented such an important day, or rather a holiday, because everything is necessary from time to time to remember what is really important and what should never be forgotten.
Peace… If we hear this word, we will imagine our world with no problems, no wars. To live happily in peace people should be sensible, patient and kind. We, people, should forget about our differences. We all – people. We all can cry, laugh. We all can see and feel. No matter what skin colour we have or what language we use to speak, we all should be together. Peace in the world consists of small, but important things, such as family, friendship, love and happiness. To make peace with people you shouldn’t learn some poems or take a test, you just can say some “magic” words or be able to say “sorry”. And if every person find its inner peace, our world will become more peaceful, better and cuter. Let’s make a wonderful world together!
ReplyDeletePeace. Many people always try to find it. But what it is? It isn’t something that we can touch or smell. It is only we can see or feel.
ReplyDeletePeople often fight each other, quarrel. But after each quarrel everyone wants to live together as the cat Leopold said. But what we can do to make peace with someone. Most of you think that you shouldn’t be rude or you may wait while your friend comes first. But I think that you need only to say sorry. And all will be good again.
Forgive everyone. But if you forgive your enemies, never forget their names.
Peace may be like a piece of magic. For example, like a rainbow. And you can also find it if you try.
Looking for your rainbow. Your own rainbow.

I'd like to sum up your comments. To admire a peaceful sky and a rainbow we should have a dream (a kind one), find our inner peace and never forget what sufferings wars cause.
