Processes of peacemaking and peace building around the world
To be a peacemaker is the most difficult job in the world, but it is not impossible. Along with the year we have been seen icons who are been remembered thru the generation. As the first example we can mention our Lord Jesus Christ who was killed just to prophesy the peace and love between the human kinds. However, we do not need to be so extraordinary in order to make the different or even just to contribute in having a better world. It seen to be that people who look for war between the populations had better luck
We do not have to wait for a big opportunity, nor it going to appear in front to us. The different is on us, it is on every day of our lives. There are people who expose their own lives for a better quality of other people’s live. Nelson Mandela, as an example, sacrificed his family, his privacy and his freedom for the equal rights of the African people. This fight took more than a single day, but at the end an entire nation is enjoying today the benefits of his scarify. He did not use any sign of violence, guns or practice that would place a life in danger. On the other hand, when he got into the government, he did not take his power again those who send him to prison for almost three decades.
Even in the worse scenery there are place to contribute to the process of peacemaking. By the time of the Second World War, when the Nazis took over Europe and went against the Jude people to kill them, many people help to hide them in order to save their lives. If we look back we will find many histories about it. Thanks to this people there are still Jude people who survived to the war. Even thought they took advantage in certain way because their situation, they help them even with the minimum sign of care. The best seller movie Schindler’s List tell about a Germany guy who represent a true history lived during the WWII. This is not easy to have it done, but if he did it, why we cannot.
Those are just few examples of what we can do when we want it do to it. There are many people we can mention but what they did is done, and now it is our opportunity to write in the book of life. “The power of one is to do something… anything”, we hear it constantly but nobody wants to step ahead. The process of a peace-building may kill you, but if you decided to go for it, your name will live forever.
