the peace in our life

Through our study in history we have learned great things about peace, and about people who spent their life in order to achieve peace.
But is the peace is only treaties between the countries?!
Peace is general and including all individuals, and it is a behavior we should use it to solve our daily problems, and should be the first choice to solve our daily problems, not only that but I found that we should teach our children to use peace with their friends and with strangers and don’t use violence.
we learned that peace is not only by treaties but peace stems from heart and we have to save it.
We opened the historic books and we didn’t find more than dead people and victims who their blood went vain in order to achieve some greed as a result of violence spreading. We found that along the history people remember peace when it is too late, only when they see innocent children die every day without doing anything wrong. So they try to remedy position and it may be too late. I didn’t say that peace is against war, sometimes wars are necessary to achieve peace, but not the one which victims are old people and young children and women. at last I found that peace is a behavior we should use it always , all religions urged for it like Chasten who urged for love , tolerance and peace as Islam is a religion of peace as Islam word in Arabic language is derived from peace which mean peace so Islam waged for peace like other religions.

Ghandi and non violence

He was viewing that the value of human is not is his skin color but it is inside in his brain and soul, believing that by love not by violence and through the passive resistance he could achieve the independence and freedom.
Ghandi watched the real discrimination whe he was in south Africa,
He resists it for about 20 years in South Africa. Finally, Ghandi went back to India in 1914 to meet the great enemy, it was the British occupation which was using the fortunes of India and made the Indian life very bad, no money, no food, people were very poor at this time in India, Ghandi started to spread his principles to get satisfied with the national proudest and don’t use the British product and people agreed and started this passive resistance. The government ordered people not to buy salt except the one that government export and stop delaying with national one. Ghandi believed that violence yields nothing but violence. Ghandi declared his refused about this, and he leads a group consists of thousands of people and went to the sea which is far more than 2000 miles, the whole world saw what happened in India from this injustice decisions, and declared that salt is right everyone, and they have to get it easily. He didn’t care with his arresting and what happened to him inside the jail and after he went out he continued his passive resistance. Ghandi was a model for all Indians as he wore a cloth made of cotton or wool and he made it by himself. The whole world knew Ghandi and knew else the passive resistance which can’t be resisted by the great British army without spilling a single drop of blood. and he saw afraid of discord between Muslims ,Christians and Hindus ,but he didn’t know that he will be a victim for this intolerance. Ghandi was shot by Hindus man before going to pray, he left a light that guides people till now in order to achieve the peace, freedom, and renounce violence
