My future

So my goals for the future involving peace are simple.

Short-term: My goal is to keep a good attitude at work even when things go unfarely (i know not a word but thats how i feel) or when i get agitated by others, or even when i feel sick. This would create peace for others at my workplace.

Long-term: My goal is to try and help others to find their inner peace.

Inner Peace

I believe that inner peace is something that is hard to gain because everyone is almost always in a constant struggle with themselves, well i think anyway. For example theres people who struggle with sexuality, weight, personal goals, and  a multitude of other things. Don't get me wrong people can find inner peace but i believe thats only for a brief moment and then their mind goes back to thinking of what they've done wrong. Maybe people can find inner peace with themselves but to me it seems that the way society is pointing this generation people may always go to the back of there mind i still say..i wish i could do this or be that when they know that it's just not physically possible.

You - your cell phone = peace

If someone were to take away your cell-phone, your computer, or your television how long would you last before you went “insane”? If you were told it was for peace, would that help? The men and women in the military not only have to leave behind our everyday electronics but they leave behind their family, friends, and they live with the thought, everyday they are overseas, the fact that they may not be coming home. Even if they come home they are risking their sanity. Everything they see and have to do can mess with their head and make them have all sorts of mental problems. On the same note of coming home, they might not come home with every limb intact either.

Those men and women risk everything in the name in of peace. They go months without even getting to have contact with their loved ones. They don’t get home-made meals for dinner they eat MRE’s which stands for meals ready to eat. Just add water and there’s breakfast lunch and dinner. These men and women believe so much in what they are doing and the peace they hope to create that they do the things that some would refuse.

Some would say oh well it’s like they are on vacation. They get to see different places and what not, yes. Though they don’t stay in hotel’s they sleep in tents, wooden shacks, even just in the dirt depending on the circumstances. They don’t get to go sight-seeing, they see what they are told too when they are told to, and these things aren’t normally that countries monuments. They mostly consist of the target of their mission. A mission they believe is another step forward towards peace, which gives them reason to go on the way they are.

All this for peace seems a little much to you maybe, but if it’s peace at stake wouldn’t you be willing to give up something? Whether it’s world peace or just peace within you I believe that we all have it in us to give up something for it. May it be our life or just our cell phones; I believe that in the time of need most often than not people are willing to give up something of importance in their life for peace. Because when it comes right down to it peace is something I believe that everyone wishes for.
