As humans we have a natural desire for peace. A peaceful earth, free of war and violence has been our dream for centuries. But throughout the ages all our efforts at bringing peace was all in vain.
Almost all the violence perpetuated in human history were caused by humans themselves. The same people who yearn for peace, pushes her far away.
But why, why does it seem like we can never really have this peace which we so desire and need?
Personally I think the reason a peaceful world seems so far fetched is because we lack love . Love is the key to opening the door of peace.
Love can be said to be a strong feeling of mutual attraction towards someone or something.
From the aforementioned definition, we can see that love doesn't just entails loving people, love also transcends to animals and inanimate objects.
Having love for the people around you means you will not do anything to hurt them, having love for the animals and plants around you means you'll take care of them and treat everything created by God with respect , having love for non living things like your car , house, country and others means you'll take good care of everything around you.
With love we can destroy the root cause of violence which is hate. We can destroy other violent attributes such as stray, tribalism, racism , killings, cheating.
Peace only exists in an environment where there is love and respect. The love for our fellow humans irrespective of race or religious beliefs is paramount to sustaining a peaceful earth.
Almost all religion teaches about love; christianity, islam, hindus, ; they all place emphasis on the need of loving ourselves.
As humans we need peace to survive and to get sustainable peace, we need love. We need to put our differences aside and start loving our neighbors as ourselves in order to have a peaceful world.
As human I believe in love, even the holy books may us to understand the importance of love as an instrument of peace
