The People Around Me...

I've had many stupid, cheap and cruel incidents going on around in the past few days. People, have shown me, how opportunities can shape their lives... against me. They have taken advantage of the fact, that I, a Peacelover, should not fight with anyone, verbally or physically. They have pricked me, just in the confidence that I won't do anything back. And, if I do, they would go on blabbering about my ideals and values on Peace, just to keep me shut. Is this what I get for trying to help people? Is this what I get for trying to advise them calmly, ending up in my calamity? Is this what peace means to everyone? If this is what is mean, it is nothing different than a weapon of mass destruction, not physical but mental...

I hate criticising people, character assassination( speaking ill of a person), and other nonsensical things of the sort, but what am I left to do? Is this why, I have thoughts like this? So I could be disrupted in every corner, by every friend I have?

I have been demoralised, by trying something new, and seeing it burn before my eyes. But people, don't think I'll give up. If Edison could take 1000 times to make an electric bulb, I would go that 1001 time to make a bulb glow in everyone's heart, the bulb of peace.

I am sure that I will make myself not be affected by these useless things happening around me. I will make sure, that those assaulting me in the name of 'Peace' will feel guilty to such an extent that they would stop doing the same. 

My good old friend called me a 'pessimist' today which really tore me apart. Well, I'll show him how optimistic I really am.

Let Peace ring in the hearts of all...

Peace. 

A Tribute

                                              

Hello my friends. I would like to start this blog by observing a moment's silence for those innocent lives that were lost seven years ago on this very day: The attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Okay, now let me introduce myself. I am the Peacelover, a boy, 15 years of age, living in Chennai, India. I am an American citizen, but living in India. I want to  fight for something that many people still vehemently oppose, a Global world.

By Global World I do not mean the trade relations, democratic governments, leaders of different countries opposing each other but still shaking hands with each other. No. By Global World I mean a world in which everybody walks together, be it your an American, Indian or anyone else. By Global World I mean we do not distinguish ourselves based on the country to which we belong. I mean a world where an Italian helps a French, not caring that he has allegiance to a 'different country'. I mean a world where there is PEACE.

I know my vision is extremely Utopian, and I also know that many people will oppose me by trying to act patriotic. My classmates act so patriotic, that even sometimes I feel guilty. But a few weeks ago, we had to come to school for celebrating Independence Day and hoisting our national flag. Guess what? Only three of them came! Sounds patriotic to me!

I don't know how this vision of mine will work out, but all those people out there listening to me, if you think in a similar way and are scared to express, don't worry. I am there and I know there are many others. Together we can work and make this vision a reality.

I am not enclosing my blog to more than 90% of my classmates, as I am sure they will be extremely angry with me. Please don't be like them. Let us change how the world sees itself. Let us work towards a peaceful world. Let peace ring in the hearts of all...


Peace.
