DMZ: Desperate place where we need to start peace

DMZ: Desperate place where we need to start peace

DMZ: Desperate place where we need to start peace


Have you ever heard about DMZ? Korean Demilitarized Zone is in the middle of Korean peninsula diving one big nation as two country. It is now known as famous tour place. However, to Korean, whenever we see it, it reminds us of our sad history. DMZ is a place where people promise to remove all the weapons and preserve natures and also the people. Even though we don't feel any fear at that point, the war has not ceased yet and we cannot just stand there smiling. Some people might think of their father, children, loved ones who have separated during the war. Separating families and lovers are the most cruel thing that people could do. Like I mentioned before, DMZ is a place where they don't fight and be peaceful. However, how much people can feel peace on that place? That's why we need to build peace from that spot. Many people are desperate to have peace on the Earth. Not only Korea, there are some other places where they have these demilitarized zone. Let's bring peace in those places and never remind our sad history again. International Peace Youth Group is now working on this, and we will soon make this possible. Then, we can think of peaceful and happy thoughts whenever we see each other.

International Peace Youth Group in GW: Bringing peace with love

Bringing peace with love

Bringing peace with love

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery-

When we understand our differences and start to love each other, that's when we can achieve peace in this world. World peace is our goal to look forward. Let's stand together and bring peace with love. International Peace Youth Group is now sharing and spreading love of peace to the world. Soon, we can achieve peace in this world. 

Understanding each other makes peace in world

 Understanding each other makes peac 



Mankind have been made a relationship with many people and have experienced wars which was happened by a conflict in collision within different purpose. Because of those wars, so many people lost their right to enjoy peace regardless of their will.  Conflict made by human is occurred by discord of thinking. It means we can solve the problem if we understand each other and shift other's ground. But in the center of human's history, most of the problems hasn't solved yet. And around the earth, wars are still happening and we can hear eager voice of peace.


 Peace can be achieved. Thinking small effect that you make won't make any difference is like, "My vote will not influence the result of election.". My little interest of peace can dye the earth in peace color.

 International Peace Youth Group is making a effort for this. Let's make a wave of peace throughout the world and think of peace in mind. Join us together!

Same but Different, Different but Same

 Same but Different, Different but Same:

1 + 4 = 5 2 + 3 = 5   0 + 5 = 5    

 One plus four is five. Not only with this method, also there are other ways. Two plus three

is also five, and with nothing, you can plus five. This also makes the result, five. There will be more other ways to figure out how an answer can come out. 

     This can be a way to solve a problem in mathematics, also in life too. To come to a conclusion of something, of course the process is important, but if it makes a same result, will you think that the way to achieve it is wrong? For example, living in a different environment makes you a different and unique culture. Cultures are the conclusion from human living that lives in a place. So it is the most suitable way to live and to survive in that way. So, this makes the way to eat food, wear clothes, and to build a house. How can we say mine is right and the others are wrong? It isn’t because we were born this way; it is because there are many reasons to respect. 

     In IPYG everything, everyone, and everyplace, moments are respected and appropriate. This is way we can learn from others and try to make world peace together. Always remember, the results are same. But are you measuring the process to make and argue or to fight. Find what is in your heart first. If you know that, world peace or everything else that we have to solve is just a matter of time.

Grass Kim Su -Yong(1921-1968)


Grass 
Kim Su-Yong(1921-1986)

The grass is lying flat.
Fluttering in the east wind that brings rain in its train,
the grass lay flat
and at last it wept.
As the day grew cloudier, it wept even more
and lay flat again.

The grass is lying flat.
lt lies flat more quicky than the wind.
lt weeps more quickly than the wind.
lt rises more quickly than the wind.

The day is cloudy, the grass is lying flat.
lt lies low as the ankles 
low as the feet.
Though it lies flat later than the wind,
it rises more quickly than the wind
and though it weeps later than the wind,
 it laughs more quickly than the wind.
The day is cldudy, the grass's roots are lying flat.

Principles that can bring peace

Principles that can bring peace

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. 
 Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.” 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson
    
 What do you think about this quote? I have been speculating on this quote to figure it out. Knowing the author’s background, I guess it’s about being diligent that can make us be free from pressures or slump. He is a lecturer, poet and essayist who wrote mainly about self-improvement and successful life.


 However I would like to apply it to world peace, not 
only to individual peace. I thought world peace also can be brought only by ourselves and the triumph of principles. What would be ‘the principles’ in this case? It might be the principles of to get along with other people and not to fight with anyone. Yes, it’s love. In other words, not being selfish but being altruistic. Sounds really elementary, yet it is not easy to put in action. Again, there’s no other one who can bring us peace but ourselves, so it is us who 
should make the principles achieve a triumph too.

 How is it possible to be selfish and altruistic at the same time? Be diligent for yourself and be loving for all of us. In this way we may achieve a perfect peace!

What's going on in Myanmar

What's going on in Myanmar

 Have you heard of Rohingya peaple? Rohingya is a minority race in Myanmar. They have been suffered in some reasons in that country. 


 Myanmar(Burma) where Buddhism is the major faith, consists of many nationalities and Rohingya is one of them. They are now discriminated and even cutting off from access to medical service because of religious reason. They are Muslims.

 We generally think Buddhists are moderate and they love peacefulness, but in Myanmar, they protest on the streets to kick out Rohingya and kick out Muslims in their country. So about a million Rohingya is getting out of Myanmar, and heading to neighboring countries, floating on boats. They all became refugees, avoided and rejected.

 Children are killed by malnutrition and diseases, women and girls are being raped, men are massacred. Every horrible thing is being done to these people on earth right now. However, Myanmar government and Aung San Suu Kyi the president of the country as well as a Nobel Peace laureate, are doing nothing just turning their face away from the situation which can be called genocide in their land.




A columnist of The New York Times visited Myanmar and asked a boy from Buddhist region, what if he saw a Rohingya child. The 13 year old boy answered he would kill him. And he asked Muslim children what they would do if they encounter a Buddhist boy. “Hack him,” said the 8 year old child.



 What are the religions for? It seems people use them to justify killing people, hating others. They might not know the true meaning of religion seeing what they’ve done. Religious faith is not supposed to be the reason for doing such evil things, but good things for instance, love, sacrifice, share and so on. We should help Rohingya first and then need to think of the function of those religions which make people kill each other. If we cannot understand and embrace the differences between religion, we’d better give up having one I think.

Emmanuel Jal's "We Want Peace"

Peace Video : Emmanuel Jal's "We Want Peace"


We Want Peace (WWP) is campaign to raise awareness on the fundamental principles of justice, equality, unification and conflict prevention, through the power of music, worldwide. It worked through internationally renowned artist, actor, author and activist. Dedication to Southern Sudan's historic referendum, Emmanuel launched the world wide music.


"The worst people on earth are not only those who commit evil, but those who stand by and turn a blind eye" - Emmanuel Jal

Like the quote the Emmanuel Jal said, peace can be possible only when we raise our awareness. Through this impressive campaign I want to be a Peace Soldier, someone who can activate awareness on those who abuse basic human rights. Someone that are individuals who use education and understanding as their only weapons in generating a peaceful environment.
