3. An Essay on: Peace
Peace
Once
upon a time there was a king named Vikram Pratap Singh. He was kind hearted and
caring his kingdom’s people. He wanted the kingdom’s people to be happy. He
asked many saints and astrologers how to keep his people of the kingdom happy.
One of the saints named Haritmuni advised that if he wanted to get answer of
his question he should do meditation.
The
king went to Himalayas for meditation. After many years, a saint wearing white
clothes appeared while he was meditating. The saint said in a low voice, ‘Vikram’.
The king opened his eyes. He asked his question to the saint. The saint replied,
‘For getting your question’s answer you must like reading books’. He went back
to his kingdom and started reading books. After reading many books, he read a
saying that ‘Peace is the Reason for Happiness’. He understood that only peace
can only bring happiness in his kingdom.
Now, for
making his kingdom feel happy, he must know, “What is peace?” .He held a
meeting in his palace with his courtiers, for understanding the meaning of
peace. His courtiers gave different opinion about peace. But the king was not
satisfied with any of the answers.
After
some days, he decided to go to a jungle to meet a hermit for getting his doubt
clarified. He left his horse and guards back, and went alone in the jungle to
meet the hermit. When he reached the hermit, the hermit was ploughing a field.
After some time king asked his question to hermit. But the hermit continued his
work and did not reply.
After
sometime when hermit completed his work the king again asked in a pleased way ‘What
does the term peace really mean?’ For explaining the king about peace the hermit
made two paintings of peace and asked the king to choose one of them, which
indicates peace.
One
picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering
mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky full of white clouds in it.
The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was
an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightening played. Downside of
the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall.
The
king said “The first picture is peaceful but the second is not at all peaceful.
But the hermit said “The second picture indicates the peace”. “Why” the king
said. “Look properly!” the hermit said. The king looked closely, he saw behind
the waterfall, a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother
bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat
the mother bird on her nest in perfect peace.
The
hermit explained why he selected second picture “Because peace does not mean to
be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be
in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the
real meaning of peace.”
The
king understood the meaning of peace. He went back to his kingdom and explained
to its people of kingdom that if you have peace you can get happiness all
around you. After that people of the kingdom lived in harmony and with happiness;
and the king also become happy after seeing his people of kingdom happy.
In
the real sense, the saint Haritmuni and the hermit were the same person and
they were the forms of God. God was impressed by the king’s devotion and came
in different forms to the king.

2. An Essay on: Peace
Peace
I would begin this essay
with very famous words said by Mother Teresa. Once she said, “Peace begins with
a smile. Smile five times a day at someone you really don’t want to smile at;
do it for peace”. It is true that love and compassion comes rushing to one
person once he smiles. One can reduce the level of hatred he has towards the
other person by smiling. Once you smile at a person, it results in the other
person smiling back at you.
Everyone
likes to live in a world of peace. I think this is important because it is very
nice and can keep you away from drama. My parents have taught me many things
about being peaceful, especially at school. They taught me to be respectful at
all times and to walk away from drama and to never get involved in it. This is
very important because getting into drama will make us a witness or the one who
may be blamed when there is a problem.
Peace is
also important because being rude or harmful for no reason at all is not being
peaceful. This happens at school a lot mostly outside, but my friends and I
just walk away. My mom tells me this is the right thing to do. She tells me
that to be peaceful it is important for everyone to get along within the
community and at school. She also told me to never join a fight between other
people, she tells me when this happens go tell a teacher. This can help stop
the violence in our school. All the people I know in my family tell me to never
hang out with the wrong group of people because they may be the ones to get me
in trouble.
My parents
have also taught me to make friends from other cultures because they may look
different from the outside, but inside they might be really nice and
kind. If we respect each other’s cultures, we can all live in peace and
harmony.
This year,
I have more friends who are from different cultures. I enjoy playing with
them and learning about their cultures. It helps me understand their opinion;
experience, and culture. Now, I have noticed that I am much more accepting
of other people and also more open-minded to their point of view.
Whenever I
have a problem with one of my classmates, I control my tone of voice and I
explain it to them in nonviolent way. If they are still rude,
I speak to them in a strong and polite way.
“I am
sorry.” “I love you.” “I forgive you.” In my eyes, peace is not just a word
that can describe something or someone. They are the statements said above.
Peace is the little things people do every day. There may be many different
definitions of peace, but the most important one to me is the one my mother has
taught me. My mother has always said that God tells us to forgive each other,
give to others, and love each other. I think that if every single person on
this planet lived by these three simple rules, and said those three simple
statements every day, the world might be ready to move onto the
bigger acts of kindness such as stopping wars or lowering crime rates.
I think people should
remember lessons that we have learned from previous wars, wise leaders and from
our own experiences. These lessons have taught us to be more respectful
to each other and to discuss problems instead of fighting about it. If
people follow these rules, the word would be a very peaceful place.
The Earth is a beautiful
planet and the people on the face of the earth are beautiful as well. My mother
has made a big difference in my life when she taught me the word of God. God
wants us to follow those three simple rules, forgive each other, give to
others, and love each other. We cannot wait for someone like Mother Teresa or
Mahatma Gandhi to jump-start the spreading of peace. People like us can do that
in the little words and statements we say every day. My mother has really given
me the biggest influence in my life to making peace. She has taught me to
always follow what God wants you to do. We may already have our future in our
minds, but we cannot attain that future until we can learn to forgive, give,
and love everyone. Only when our hearts are open for giving forgiveness and
love can God tell us what we are meant to do on this planet. Only then are we
ready to really bring peace to the world.

1. An Essay on: Peace
What is in your Toolbox for
Peace?
Religion is the tool for peace. All Indian religions teach people
the lesson of peace and non-violence. I am going to narrate a story on this. This
is a very old story, more than five hundred years old. A king ruled over
Dholakpur. His name was Narendra. And his commander in chief’s name was Anand.
Dholakpur’s people were good and kind. They lived together in harmony. But the
king was very proud.
One day he gave an order to the commander in chief, Anand. But he
did not obey the order. Because he had a dispute with the king on some matter.
Anand clearly said to the king, “I shall not obey your order.” The king got
angry and said, “How dare you disobey me?” Both of them were angry and were
ready to have a fight. The king roared, “I will kill you.” And then he took out
his sword to attack. Anand only laughed proudly, “Ha! Ha! Ha!” He was proud of
his strength and was not afraid of the king. He said to the king, “Before long,
you shall be killed by me.” The kings struck his sword on Anand, but he
stretched forward his shield and saved himself. Then he brandished his sword to
hurt the king, but he dodged it. Both of them roared and tried hard to kill
each other. Both of them were expert in sword fighting and so the fight went on
for a long time. Then both of them were injured and their body started bleeding
from several places.
Now, from that lonely place, a monk was passing by. He was very
learned, kind and compassionate. He saw the fight and felt pity for king and
the commander in chief. He cried out, “Stop! O king!” Hearing a stranger’s
sound, both the warriors stopped for a while and looked around. They saw the
monk and suddenly they felt ashamed of their deed. They lowered their swords
and bowed to the monk. The monk said to them that if the king and the commander
fight among themselves, who was going to protect the country from enemies.
Moreover, both of them were well educated and had honour for religion. He asked
them how was it that they forgot to behave well. The monk preached them the
importance of peace and non-violence.
Both of them reconciled with each other and vowed never to involve
in petty fights, to be disciplined and work honestly for the welfare of their country.
