BE THE CHANGE: A FIGHT FOR PEACE

This world is full of disappointments, problems, frustrations, fights and injustices of all kinds. The only way to withstand these unfavourable circumstances is by changing your perspective towards them because “Some things will never change, but what you do have control of changing is yourself ”(as said by Gandhi).

The society we are surrounded by constantly makes us believe that we are not enough to stand up for our own selves but there is no one out there who can question our abilities. There are many things that bothers us be it the corrupt politics, manipulative leaders, dominating partners, ruined environmental conditions, terrorism, however, we wait for someone to take an initiative. What we forget is the fact that there is nobody who will fight for our issues.We have to be the change we want to see in the world.

The most common and heinous problem faced by the world today is Terrorism. All of us feel terrible for the innocent lives that are lost in every brutal attack, but how we end this feeling is by saying “well, there’s nothing we can do about it”. For all of you who think that way, If we can send people to moon; create devices to chat; invent medicines to cure diseases then there is nothing we cant do. Blaming religion is not going to stop harmless Syrians, naive children and guiltless women from dying in every part of the world but what will help us is our unity. We cannot wait for others to play our roles. All of us need to step in the field as our own leaders. Even a single chivalrous person who has the determination to change himself and hence the world can make a big difference.

The world would never have been this way if legends like Bhagat Singh, Martin Luther King Jr, Ho chi Minh would not have risen out of their comfort zones and changed their mindsets to combat the injustices. There is no utopian society but there are utopian minds who can think differently to change their own meaningless beliefs and rules for this world to live in peace.

“Tonight we'll stand, get off our knees Fight for what we've worked for all these years

and the battle was long, it’s the fight of our lives But we’ll stand up champions tonight”

-Taylor Swift .
