How to Build Peace in Society?



Peace is a term which brings a sense of serenity and security in our minds. No matter what you have learned from your peer group or friends but one thing is quite sure that we all want peace in our surroundings. Thinking rationally, we need peace everywhere because we want to see peaceful minds wherever we go. Everybody wants peace for his family in possible means and confirms his society distant from all catastrophes.

Building peace requires our healthy positive minds which dig out every possible option existing in the conflict. Peaceful minds are reinforcing dialogue among diversified group of people to figure out the alternative ways of building peace. Mental tolerance to listen others' contrary opinions even when they are objected by majority is real factor for initiating peace. It does require our mental ability and negotiation skills to bring all opponents on a single round table of intervention to resolve the conflicts.

Although we are living in diversified social classes and different religious values in the society but we all have some similarities along. Accepting these similarities helps to figure out individuals' differences as well that really brings change in individuals' thinking approaches. Our common wish for peaceful future is compelling us to take initiatives for eliminating hurdles in the road of peace. These common things are usually referring kindness and dignity of the people, while it is also a fact that we all have to respect each other to get esteem in response.

We can define peace differently but we perceive it with the same heart beat. Relationships of love and friendship are the true examples of choosing the life enriching elements for peace building. So peace building should be started from our relationships and attachment styles. If peace is prevailing in the minds of society members then its impact would surely be observed in the media and democratic governance. History shows that nations had fought wars, only when they didn't find any other way out for building peace.

We want peace even we define it differently because the end results are same and peace is mandatory for our protection and prosperity. The most important element is to give respect to others' opinions unless are based on intolerance. Wherever you find any dispute or conflict in others' thoughts, try to make a plan to resolve it in the peaceful manners. Don't let the dispute growing, as it leads to hatred and intolerance in the society. Society would only be peaceful and role model for others, if strongly established by means of harmony and peaceful bonding among all its members.

Well-written and put into words, but on the ground, this may be a far-fetched dream. Can we think of and implement a new method to reach religious tolerance and diversity acceptance?

well said, method isn't exclusive but I think it is still useful... what I have shared is purely based on my personal experience; would definitely write and share more if will face some more dynamic experiences showing religious tolerance or acting on commonalities...

لماذا لايتم استخدام بدائل للحد من العنف ضد المرأة .. كالتوعية وابراز دورها الفاعل في المجتمع وغيرها التي قد تساهم في وضع حد لهذة المشكلة بدلا من سن القوانين التى قد لا تجدي نفعاً في ضل غياب الوعي...

تمسكي برأيي ومحاولة اقناع الغير به وان كان خاطئ يدل على عدم قبولى بالاخر .. فقناعتي بامر ما يخصني انا ليس بالضرورة اقناع الناس به.

ليس من الضروري إقناع الشخص الأخر ،ولكن المهم هو التفهم لرأي الأخر وإيصال الفكرة التي أريد بكل إحترام وبطريقة حضارية بدون ممارسة ما يعرف بالإرهاب الفكري
