LET THERE BE PEACE......PEACE BE STILL

                                                                   

    

I wish i had very big arms to embrace y'all at a time....you guys are wonderful! Words cannot express how i feel every time i see your comment on my blog. Really.....Thanks for your support always ....i love y'all.

As i ponder on what to discuss with you today, the title dropped on my mind. As a scholar of International Relations,Peace was once a topic in my class.And i remember vividly how we argued and elaborated on the word 'Peace'.

Peace means a lot of things.Tranquility,calmness,quiet, silence,stillness and more. Peace could also mean a state,time or period when there is no WAR. The latter shows that 'PEACE' could also be seen as the antonym for 'WAR'. This is another big subject but,i'd just like to share my point of view.
This week has been a different one,all over the world and in our country Nigeria. We have seen three different plane crashes this week,Three different bomb blast,all claiming many lives, today makes it a hundred and three days that the chibok girls have been held in captivity,A plane went missing yesterday or so,just before i left work last night i gathered that an Ebola virus  patient is now in Lagos. Gosh! Only this week?

I know you may want to feel like,Thank God my family members are  not involved in all these ordeals, Yes thank God! Mine too. We say our thanks and move on with our lives. But do we ever stop to think about those ones who lost a Dad, a very close friend, a colleague,a sister,Children or child? I feel it is only appropriate for us all to have a sober reflection on all these happenings...Wait! is God angry with the world or something? I ask myself at times. God we need PEACE,come give us your kind of peace.

God have mercy on us all. May the soul of the departed,Rest in Peace.May God also give their families the fortitude to bear the loss...Amen.

Fine ,we all derive our peace from different things in life.For some, it's being able to have a three square meal,for some, it's the fact that they are able to ride the car/cars of their dreams,for some it's children,For some it's being married to the persons of their dreams. it could be anything really.

However,all these are personal to all individuals.Come to think of it, how do we relate with other people around us? Our attitude, our body movements,countenances,our thoughts towards our fellow men and women. I feel all these things and more are responsible for existence of peace among us.

I'll say lets work towards being at peace with people around us first. Love thy neighbor as thyself,so the Holy book says. You don't know How far your 'Good Morning' can go. Say sorry if you are wrong. Put a smile on someone's face today,Show people around you that you care for them. Lend a listening ear to people when they want to reach out to you, render help to people in need,pray for your country cos you are the country.

As we are going on eid fitri break,Let's show love to our Muslim brothers and sisters,send gifts to them if you can. Let us imbibe a peaceful attitude in all situations and at all times.

I wish all my Muslim brothers,Happy Eid Fitri...i hope am correct....lol. Lets have a very wonderful weekend and  holiday. I know I am going to boogie down and also have a time of my life 'coz I am going to hangout with my folks. enough gist....wink...

Hope you like this piece?  let me know how you feel about this....let share peace among us..lets be at peace with ourselves.
