#PeaceDay

"Some wiseman suggested, that the secret to 'Peace' lies in the ability to process life as it is, rather than thinking as to how it should be; however, unsurprisingly though, that 'inexpensive wisdom' of coming to terms with the 'Inner Peace' doesn't come for free!!!
(P.S.: 'Inner Peace' requires efforts and sacrifice.)

Celebrated writers from around the world wrote extensively in its favor, even one of my favorites dedicated a whole book—to this notion—called War & Peace; no one seem to understand though, why in the end the 'terms of ceasefire' turn out to be only on a temporary lease!!!
(P.S.: My favorite, the grand Leo Tolstoy was an inspiration to even Mahatma Gandhi, the true agent of Truth & Non-Violence.)

Another instance of a 'living legend' who had to spread 'compassion in exile' for being an agent of peace; sometimes, the 'Sun behind the clouds' has to hold its sheen & shine together, without being concerned about the consequences of being withheld or released...
(P.S.: The Living Legend–14th Dalai Lama.)

Today, we are experiencing a 'Global Health Crisis' unlike any other, upending lives of billions around the globe; no one was expecting such humiliation, the way this vulnerable humanity was to be disrobed!

A surge in hatred, discrimination and stigma accompanied this untoward pandemic by far;
making it even more difficult to access 'humanitarian aid' in the zones of violence & the war!
(P.S.: The pandemic is known for hitting the underprivileged and marginalized groups the hardest. By April 2021, over 687 million COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered globally, but over 100 countries have not received a single dose. People caught in conflict areas/zones are especially vulnerable in terms of lack of access to healthcare—source: United Nations.)

There are still some 'takeaways' to gather from the fronts where we have been caught off guard; 'global solidarity' for a 'lasting peace', could be the very first step for a promising start!!!

'Global solidarity' is not just a moral imperative rather 'everyone's interest' in here gets aptly sufficed; 'Order of peace' must rule the post-pandemic world in order to learn a lesson to handle the situations that seem more normal otherwise!
(P.S.: Normal situations are the breeding grounds for discord...as, Peace can't be just the state of being calm and quiet; the complex sense of peace could also be attained by a 'distorted being' in his satisfied longing for disorder & disquiet! )"
