War and Peace

I am not going to write here about what I think about the famous book War and Peace although it has a lot of pages and you must have patience.

I know to that a lot of people want world peace just asks the women on the beauty pageants; just a little joke here that is.

Although world peace is something most of us would like I feel as though it really starts within us. We can blame the wars on World Leaders in the end it begins with us.

What I mean is that we all have war going inside each of us. Other words there are a battles going on whether we realize it or not. Every day we have to choose whether we hate or love; when we get to the point where love wins over hate in our hearts than we have peace. It doesn’t mean that the war is over because who we are it will continue however peace will triumph over war and it begins with love.

The main reason we do not have more wars is that we have laws that are in affect. For example what side of the road we drive on and the speed limit.  Although many people drive faster than the speed limit we do drive on the right side of the road. If people decided to drive on the wrong side of the road we would have a lot of trouble. Also this goes for stop lights and signs. In general we obey the laws of the land or we would have more people in jail than we do.

Though we are all capable of doing bad things most of us choose to do the right things. Besides laws we believe in faith as well. Whether we know it or not a lot of things we do every single day we do it by faith. Again driving is one of those things we do by faith even though an accident is possible each time we go out. Also this applies to other types of transportation like riding a bus or flying on a plane. Although the possibility of an accident can happen everyone does it anyway. At least those who choose to ride a bus or plane anyway.

We have other choices that we make every day by faith too. The chair we set on, the food we eat and what we drink as well. The chair could break because we are too heavy or the chair is too old. We have the faith that the chair will hold us. We have the faith that the food and drink that is prepared by us or someone else will be fine as well although there is always a possibility even though remote that we will be poisoned.

Those are only some things we deal with every day by faith. I am sure that I could name a lot more. The laws and faith is what keeps us from damage of the battle within us. In the end though let’s choose to have love and peace. With all this we can make a difference in this world. Encourage one another in doing the right thing.
