Big Peace, small peace

 

What is peace? I’ve written not that many posts but all posts are about the world peace. Then, what is the peace? Have you ever thought about the peace itself? Many people have been saying peace, are saying peace and will say peace. We have to know the true meaning of the peace. So I prepare the meaning of peace (to me). I said, ‘to me’. I don’t want to force you guys to understand my style; I just want to let people think about the peace one more.

 

 If you search the word ‘peace’, then you can find two big meanings of peace. One is big peace another one is small peace. Big peace is about the country or big group. ‘If there is peace in a country or in the world, there are no wars or violent conflicts going on.’ is the result of the searching. No wars and no violent conflicts is not enough. It must be going on. That is the peace. Is it possible for people to stop wars and conflicts? Yes, I believe. So the word ‘peace’ exists in the dictionary. You may know dead language. If people do not use particular word or language, those words will be the dead language. But look at the word ‘peace’! I believe many people use the word ‘peace’ and this is the possibility of peace itself! I know I have a jump in my opinion but I want to believe. :P World peace is kind of big peace. It is related to many people not just one person. So it needs many people’s attention to achieve. Between two countries, between two religions and between two races, the world peace will start!

 

 What is small peace? You may guess that it is related to one person. Dictionary says “If you have a feeling of peace, you feel contented and calm and not at all worried. You can also say that you are at peace.” To achieve small peace, just stay calm and think about wide sea. No work, no thoughts, then you can get peace easily. (I know it is difficult to have no work and no thoughts, but compared to big peace, it is a piece of cake !!!!) It is only related to myself. I can make peace by myself. In my opinion, big peace starts from the small peace. Most of all, each of us should find small peace. And then we can pursue big peace.

 

 So, in conclusion, to achieve ultimate peace that I want, I have to find my own peace first. How can I find my own peace? To me, peace is satisfaction and that satisfaction comes from helping others. I volunteered in MANNAM as a Korean teacher and it is worth doing. Although sometimes my students are busy and they can’t come, but I’m okay! (I’m okay Calen and Jeff!!!! Do you hear me!!!?? I’m okay!!!!! :P) Anyway, small peace can be achieved by volunteering in MANNAM, and how about big peace? Of course, through MANNAM, I can pursue big peace. MANNAM is amazing association because I can dream ultimate peace that I want! By myself, I couldn’t do anything but with MANNAM, I can at least try to do something for peace! If you want to join me, don’t hesitate to knock MANNAM’s door!
