Resumen
Violence, discrimination and exclusion cause suffering for millions of people across the world today, affect people in every corner of the globe, endangering health, lives and livelihoods and limiting human potential. Changing a culture of violence into a culture of peace requires a transformation of problems into creative and constructive solutions that answer the needs of the individuals involved. We need a values-based transformation of human behavior We need to start with ourselves. We all carry bias and prejudice. Awareness, questioning and critical self-reflection can help break conditioning, or correct bias, learned through schooling, media and upbringing. Peace is a common desire for peoples throughout the world. To commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace both within and among all nations of the world, the United Nations General Assembly in 1981 proclaimed the opening day of its regular session as the International Day of Peace (September 21st) – a day dedicated to create a sustainable future, a goal cannot be achieved without sustainable peace. Its each of our duty to practice, feel, experience and to travel through a silent journey to get enlightened with self awareness to maintain and balance the natural peace within and all around.
