Ethics of Making and Sustaining Peace: “World Peace is All We Need”

By LAMC

Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning! It is my honor to stand right in front of


you and share my thoughts regarding this topic and before I start, I would like to
ask a question, what do you think is one of the most sought things in this world?
--- It is World Peace; a lot of people hopes that we could obtain this, but it is just
so difficult and could never be easy.
Chaos is inevitable in this world. Since time immemorial, it has already been
part of the lives of people wherein a lot of wars broke out in different countries
and even until now, we are still yearning for world peace. We were done with
World War I and II, but there are still ongoing wars between countries such as
the North and South Korea, a civil war in Syria, a drug war in our own country
and a lot more.
So, how do we attain peace? First, begin with your own self. Assess your
attitude, morals, and ethics especially on how you treat other people. Change for
the better if you need to, yet, change does not happen overnight, it is a long
process. So, as they say, better start now before it gets too late. Also, if you are
at peace with your own self or to people around you, you have got nothing to
worry about and aside from that, rules are given for a reason, so you better obey
them.
Second, peace is not attainable by working alone, it is only obtained through
unity. Therefore, nations should work hand in hand in order for us to achieve
this. We should learn to have an open communication with other countries and if
ever there would be a problem, talk about it before engaging in a war. Let us
help one another and not let our differences be a hindrance, instead accept and
work on it for a greater purpose. Also, influence other people to be a better
individual or citizen of this world.
Lastly, love one another and do not be greedy. Jimi Hendrix once said,
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know
peace.” Let us treat one another equally and let love rule in our hearts instead of
greediness especially for power. We should also be open-minded, let us learn to
accept and understand the opinions, insights, beliefs, and traditions of others.
Love can be destructive if not used well such as the love for power and money
while the right kind of love is a genuine one wherein happiness is its product. So,
let us not be confused with the kind of love we are and will be showing.
If world peace is attained, we won’t be able to hear news regarding a large
number of dead people in different countries because of wars. Gunshots, loud
cries, and people asking for help won’t also be heard. We can also reduce
poverty and the number of crimes with this and if wars still continue, it will not
just affect us but also the future generations. So, if you want peace to rule over
the world, let us help each other. It will take us long to attain that, but we should
never give up. Thank you and may peace be with you.
