I am a Youth and I stand for Peace

Youth for Peace
by David Edet

I have dreams, visions and ambitions. I am not the only youth with dreams and ambitions. We are all humans, and being humans we are different in every ramification and sphere, making the means by which we intend getting to our dreams and ambitions different even though our dreams of a better life, a better world for ourselves, family and friends are alike.

The absence of conflict is taken generally to mean peace, but conflicts has has been found to be a part of human existence. If peace is the absence of conflict then peace is death. So I present peace as compromise. As Youth we all crave for a better future and better world which could be seen as the end, and as its said "the end justifies the means" but you know of the various ends we have been having around us and in the world which points to the means that it justifies.

As Youth lets come to a compromise of our means and have a large level playing ground on every sphere of life, where our means selflessly interacts, where every voice is heard, every opinion is weighed, every decision rightly informed. Let us allow compromise bring harmony in our means and let us live our dreams and ambitions of a better society, a better life and a better whole.

I am a youth and my loyalty is not to religion, ethnicity, status, politician or elite but to my future.

I Stand for compromise, I stand for Harmony, I stand for peace..

Why you shouldn't resist change

What is Change? **smiles** The word change is a very familiar word to our society, but I am not talking about that kind of change now. Change simply put by me is disrupting the normal. Thinking in an unconventional way or challenging old beliefs. However, our belief system is so strong that in order to play safe we choose to shy away from change. Resistance to change is universal, across every race, gender and so on. People find it hard to accept different ways of doing things. I started reading this book Developing the Leader within you by John Maxwell, and I've begun to see reasons why we should accept change. Here's a true story from the book: Resisting change can unwittingly affect one’s health and life, as the following account portrays. Hippocrates described scurvy in ancient times. The disease seemed to especially plague armies in the field and cities that were under siege for long periods of time. Later, following the discove...
