PEACE FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE
Unconditional Peace
PEACE is the most discussed theme of the world. Every section of society claims that it wants to establish peace. It is difficult to find a single person who is an exception in this regard. But why is it that peace has remained only a talking subject, and to this day failed to become a practical reality? This contradiction is very strange, but it is a fact that no one can deny.
The reason is that people have bracketed together with peace, something that is not directly related to it. For example, people say they want ‘Peace with justice’, or ‘Peace with human rights’, or ‘Peace with equal sharing’, or ‘Peace with a problem-free society’, and so on. Such definitions of peace are unnatural, and hence they are not practically achievable.
Peace is a subject of ‘means’ and not a subject of ‘end’. Peace only opens up opportunities. It is then upon the people to achieve their goals by availing these opportunities opened up by peace. Peace cannot give a person his goal, it is upon the person himself to reach his goal through planning and struggle.
The only right way to achieve peace is to establish it unconditionally.
According to the law of nature, the only right way is to establish peace at any cost, without mingling any other aspect with it. Once peace is established, then it is everyone’s own task to discover opportunities and avail of them through realistic planning.
Rain cannot by itself grow fruits and vegetables. According to the law of nature, rain is only meant for the purpose of irrigation. It is upon the farmer to carry out irrigation by utilizing the rain water and sowing the seeds in the soil. This process would then yield the required end products.
So is the case of peace. Peace is like rain. Peace only provides you with opportunities. It is upon people to avail these opportunities through wise planning. This is why ‘Peace for the sake of peace’ is the right formula. ‘Peace for the sake of justice or anything else’ is unnatural, and therefore, unachievable.
