Inner Peace

Inner Peace is something that will have to come through the heart and not something you would have to think about. Just something that somebody will ask you and the first thing that comes to mind you will automatically say. It sometimes takes a lot to get something out of a person as they have a lot of things they need to say and express their feelings, but for whatever reason they won't because they might have an ugly background and do not want anyone to know about it. When they do express their feelings they might break down and start crying (and maybe yourself also) because what they have been through.

Op. Ed.

            Peace is often crucial to get as not only do we struggle here in the United States, but also internationally as Israel is going through some problems as we speak. Moshe Ya’alan can only ask for so much and with that not get any feedback.  He is fed up with giving so much and not getting anything out of it; that is unfair not only to him, but also to his country in the Middle East. Moshe actually had an agreement to settle the Israel and Palestinian war/conflict; however that did not go through due to Palestinians lack of commitment as Moshe said. In my opinion, if these two countries got their act together there would not be much conflict or any between the two and will have peace between one another, but not just one will get the job done. The Palestinian was close to signing the deal for peace between the two, but the leader just couldn’t do it. He just needed more information and better reasoning than he already had therefore he did not sign it as he thought the deal was “worthless.” I guess Palestinian did not want Israel to be “the nation state of the Jewish people.” As I am reading through articles about this situation and also newspapers it seems to me Palestinian is jealous of what Israel what can become of this if these Palestinian’s can just sign this treaty. They got it all wrong as Israel is trying to make their environment a better place and not have any problems with anybody else. Yes there are some pros and cons if this situation was different and Palestinian signed the document but for the majority this will help not just these two out, but the world to be a better place. Israel also informed Palestinian leaders about the “culture” of peace and still they are questioning if should sign it. Moshe Ya’alan is practically trying to force the leaders of Palestinian to sign it, but they still have their doubts on this perspective. What makes this all interesting is that this is happening right now and any time now the Palestinian can sign the document. In all of this, Israel just wants their country to be safe and have peace with others so there is not much conflict, especially between these two. We just have to wait and see what Palestinian will end up doing.

Stand up! Don't stand for Homophobic Bullying

     Standing up what you believe in is very hard when you actually get down to it. However, once you accomplish it, deep down it will make everything feel so right no matter what anybody thinks of you. As seen in the video that kid was scared of showin ghis true feelings in public because he knew there would be those types of bullys out there to make fun of him. And in the end you can see who had the last laugh as the bullys did not know what was going on as everyone started holdng hands just to stand up for that one kid because they didn't want him to feel the way he did anymore. This video should teach those bullys to accept gays into this world. Not everyone is the same and that is why life is so wonderful as you never know what will happen next. I respect gays even if I am straight; I am not one to judge ones being just because he or she is not similiar to the way I am towards others.

Today in Egypt

Many different things have gone on in Egypt, but today they have been facing different crisis as there unemployment rate went increasingly off the chart. There have been riots and the city country going wild since the revolution in Tunisia had occurred. Over one million  people have walking the streets of Egypt pretty much on strike, as the disagree with their countries rules. Over 20,000 people are without jobs and each day that number is increasing.

Building Peace

      After watching the clip in class about "Building Peace" it really makes you appreciate what the United States has and having so many rights. Other countries don't get much as much rights, especially if you are a female. Now I know it doesn't effect myself as much since I'm a guy but that just isn't right getting treated different just by your gender. In different countries education wise is different as they pay more attention to guys. Even though guys get more attention it still isn't as much as we do here in the U.S. which is unfair as kids don't get to reach there potential because there education is limited. Well, Greg Mortenson is working extremely hard to change all this, but he can't do it on his own, of course he needs help. Another thing that also doesn't make sense to me is that children under the age of 5 are not surviving because they aren't drinking clean water. Now that I think about it, us Americns take a lot for granted. We don't know how great it is to drink clean water or getting the education we need to better ourselves in the future. It is just unfair how these kids live over there and not being there fault at all. Hopefully Greg Mortenson straightens this up and does as much as he can to help those in different countries.

Peace

Peace is always good to have wherever you are, especially around others. It makes the world a beter place without any misunderstandings as others will dislike you. I actually have a bracelet that stands for peace and it has all these symbols that represent the sign "peace." If we didn't have peace we would always be going through war. People will always be in a bad mood and life in general just wouldn't be as wonderful as it is with peace. It helps to help others out as it gives between one another. As doing a good deed to help someone I'm sure they would recognize that and appreciate it and return the favor. I can go on, on how peace is is a great thing. After thinking and writing about this for so long I can not find a negative outcome that perceives the word peace. Because of peace we hae such great people around us and that is because of peace. Another solution, when you think you think of peace you sometimes think im hippies, right? They express the peace sign more then anyone I can think of. They always look happy and live life without any regrets in their life and that's is how everyone should to be happy.I know a lot of people judge them on how they dress or talk, but they chose that route and they've turned out fine. Actually, there are all kinds of different meanings and words for the word. As also there is "piece, but but however we are using "peace in this text. I've given plenty of examples and good depth on what it really means and how people express the word. When you think of the word, what do you picture in your mind? In my mind, i picture beautiful green trees, lovely weather, and just a place like no other. A place without any problems, just joy and happiness all over. No negative surroundings just positive feedbacks towards those who deserve it.
