Today we are at I-F Celebrating

International Day of Peace and World's Gratitude Day

What does Peace Means : Peace is a state of harmony, the absence of hostility. In International context, peace is the opposite of war. Peace can also describe a relationship between any parties characterized by respect, justice, and goodwill.

Some prominent Personalities who exampliefies Peace

Mahatma Gandhi : Mahatma Gandhi suggested that if an oppressive society lacks violence, the society is nonetheless not peaceful, because of the injustice of the oppression. Gandhi articulated a vision of peace in which justice is an inherent and necessary aspect; that peace requires not only the absence of violence but also the presence of justice. Galtung described this peace, peace with justice, as "positive peace," because hostility and further violence could no longer flourish in this environment



Martin Luther King Jr: During the 1950s and 60s, when Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement carried out various non-violent activities aimed at ending segregation and racial persecution in America, they understood peace as more than just the absence of violence. They observed that while there was not open combat between blacks and whites, there was an unjust system in place in which the government deprived African Americans of equal rights. While some opponents criticized the activists for "disturbing the peace", Martin Luther King observed that "True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice."

There are many Types of Peace Exists like :

Peace and Development

One concept or idea that often complements peace studies is development. In much development discourse, it is assumed that economic, cultural, and political development will take "underdeveloped" nations and peoples out of poverty, thus helping bring about a more peaceful world.


Environmental peace:

Many environmentalists believe that protecting the environment is a form of peacemaking. This perspective posits that to destroy natural habitats, or to disturb long-standing equilibrium among any and all living things, may be perceived as a form of violence.

Happy International Peace Day 😊



Really this is the Most important thing that is needed in the world right now to save Mother Earth and human beings.

It's time we all come to realise that violence and hatred is not going to take us anywhere. It will only result in widespread destruction and annihilation.

So lets all pray for Peace, Peace and Peace to touch every inch of this World.

Amen!
