Peace Day

What is peace? 
Peace is freedom from disturbance, quiet and tranquility, freedom from of the cessation. Peace is when people are able to resolve their problems without violence. Peace is when everyone live in safety. Peace is when everyone is equal before the law. Peace is when everyone has their basic needs. Peace is when everyone work together to increase their quality of life. But peace can only last when human rights are respected, when people are fed, when individuals and nations are free.

How to achieve peace?
A lot of people think that there's no way human can achieve peace in the world. It's not true. We can achieve peace. It's possible.
There's a theory about peace. It's called Five Freedoms. 

So, first of all, please look at your hand. We all have five fingers. They are all different, but they can work together to do things. And the first of the five fingers we called thumb. It's the most different looking finger. It's strong. It represent freedom of speech, the idea that stands out, that stands up to dishonesty and corruption.

Next, look at your index finger. We usually use this finger to point things. It gives us direction. It represent freedom of religion. Each of us is free to choose our own direction, with or without God.

Third is the middle finger. It's the longest finger of all. It represent the freedom from want, the long road of existence, and the certainty that there will be food, water, shelter, education, and health care for everyone of us no matter where we are on that road.

Fourth is the marriage ring finger, a finger with a direct link to our nervous system. It represent the freedom of environment.

Finally, the fifth finger. Our 'little finger'. It's the shortest and the smallest than the rest (for most people). It represent the freedom from fear.

As you take a look at your hand and count the Five Freedoms, you have to remember that you didn't ask for five fingers from God. That means you didn't ask Five Freedoms. It's a gift from God, you were born with them. That's why it's possible to achieve peace.
