Peace in our Daily life

Most people think that peace is very abstract thing. Furthermore peace is regarded simple as an opposite of the state of war and because we don't have the state of war around us in Europe why should we bother about it? Why should we do something about an issue that we have already achieved?

Well, this definition for peace is not correct. Peace is something we need to actively work for every day. How should we do it? I think the answer is twofold: Firstly we need to contemplate our own behavior and attitude towards others and transform our arrogance, greed and ignorance into valuable action. Secondly we need to engage ourselves in dialog with others to try to understand the heart of the other person in order to convey our own thoughts correctly to the other person. The aim of this kind of dialog is to elevate the life state of the other person and speak out for justice. Our determined and respectful words can touch the other person's heart deeply and change the course of his or her day or even the whole life.
