John F. Kennedy

 With such a peace, the will still be quarrels and conflicting interests, as there are within families and

nations. World peace, like community peace, does not require that each men love his neighbor, it

requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance, submitting their dilutes to a just and peaceful

settlement. And history teaches us that enmities between nations, as between individuals, do not last

forever. However fixed our likes and dislikes may seem, the tide of time and events will often bring

surprising changes in the relations between nations and neighbors. So let us persevere. Peace need not

be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable. By defining our goal more clearly, by making it

seem more manageable and less remote, we can help all people to see it, to draw hope from it, and to

move irresistibly towards it.

 Being at peace with someone does not indicate there will be no disagreements. There will always be

some type of conflict as there is with family and nations. World peace does not require that you love

each other, but that there is mutual respect. Resentment does not last forever as we can see that in

historical times. Despite personal opinion and thoughts, changes in how we feel towards a particular

view change and we learn to accept or rather respect them. Don't let peace be impossible and war

unavoidable. Lets be more positive and help others understand and view peace as an option rather

than resulting directly to war.

 I chose this passage because it is crucial in the world today. Governments do not talk peace in society

today. Instead stories and lies that build hate are being told to the people in order for them to carry out

with their plans. We are not being told the truth nor facts, but what is beneficial for them. There has to

be peace in order for a future. We cannot continue to be at war. We are killing our men and destroying

families for what purpose? It is unfair to let our soldiers, sisters, brothers, family, friends, die. If

instead we chose to be rational and come up with solutions rather than sought out to weaponry.
