The five “C”s to peace…

Hello all,
Today, I have decided to post another article… The idea for this one emerged in my mind when I was browsing through another peace site, so I give all credits to learningpeace.com , which is also a informative site, that I reccomend every peace activist to read.

The 5 “C“s to World Peace…
The 3 “R”s to reducing pollution - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Similarly, Peace also has a few alphabets But in this case, its not an “R”, but a “C”, and there are 5, not 3

Communication, Compromise, Contribution, Commitment and Cooperation
The first buzzword, is communication. Communication leads to friendship, and friendship leads to peace. After all, can you imagine killing your best friend? For those of who thought “Yes”, please read the other 4 too! Or else….

Through communication, frienship, and friendly bonds can be created. But to retain these bonds, there should be compomise. Forgive, and forget. Compromise for minor issues, why fight over something baseless? After all, as Harold Kushner said,
“The small choices and decisions we make a hundred times a day add up to determining the kind of world we live in.”

Now, you have your friends, and you have the keyword(”compromise!”) to help retain the friendship… But why should your friends be your friends? You need to contribute something to the community, to make yourself a positive target for friendship. And in this case, the message of peace should be the best thing to contribute. Teach, advocate, practice, peace.

But please note that contribution does not mean material gifts. Don’t come to me later, whining that you contributed a bottle of red wine to all your friend, and your friendship didn’t work out!

In whatever unmaterialistic thing you contribute (alcohol does NOT count as unmaterialistic!!! ) you need to show commitment. By commitment, a true interest in what you’re doing, you can make dreams come true! When you show commitment in your proceedings, you earn a respect among people, thus again, bringing you more friends, and as a result, more peace .

Aaaaaaand…. The final buzzword… Co-operation. Absolute co-operation with your friends, families and foes(*aha!*), is required for Peace. Be like Bush and Hussein, and I gaurentee you, you’re not going to get anywhere near peace!

So ladies and gentlemen… Remember the five “C”s : Communicate to make friends, compromise and contribute to keep them, show your commitment to the society, and co-operate with all…
