Have you ever heard of a man who was awarded peace as a certificate before? Have you sat under a class trying to learn what peace is and how to attain it? The answer seems so obvious to all that i need no soothsayer or a megaphone to say it louder. I have been to school for quite a long time and the matter of peace only get little attention when we are talking about conflicts and  war. The idea of peace in my opinion has been underrated and its value is not seen in the lives of many people. Very much often we tend to talk about Albert Einstein, Photosynthesis and other standard topics neglecting peace.

Suicide is a major national social issue in the United States. In 2016, there were 44,965 recorded suicides. Before i do any justification to the topic, let me briefly define what peace is before you run wild off course. Peace as defined by wikipedia  is the concept of harmony and the absence of hostility. One who is capable of killing himself can easily kill another. It is very much easy to give out what you already have. The baseline of suicide in this case is due to lack of peace. 

<center>**The Story of The Peace Dwellers.**</center>
There was once a community called peace dwellers. They were a small population of people who were very much concerned about God and the things that related to him. They spent their whole life in finding things that pleased God and adhering to them. Their Joy was in the lord and they lived a long happy life.  One day, a peace dweller travelled to a nearby town where hostility was paramount. His first time seeing armed robbery and he was left in pain thinking about how someone could actually take a weapon and use it to harm a fellow human being all because of money. Most rich people do not have peace because of the fear of robbery or collapse of a big empire they have built. They often at times over think about their life. Wont you be worried the same way if you had lots of money or possessions to protect in the mist of wild robbers?

As he went home, several thoughts went through his head as to figure out why some men behaved that way. It was the beginning of his hostility thoughts. He has now found a mind boggling thought which was gradually taking away his happiness and peace. He was bothered for a great while as he thought about it and decided to open up for discussions. The peace dwellers had great teachers and  old men who knew almost every thing. The man asked; how could a man be so wicked as to rob his neighbor of his hard earned money? One professor replied, lack of peace. Indeed it is lack of peace that will make one think of such heinous act. The thought of doing something that will hurt another actually takes away peace from two people. The victim and the perpetrator if the victim hasn't prepared well enough for such an occurrence. It is therefore imperative that we all prepare ourselves to be peaceful creatures in order to prosper and live a happy live.

Indeed lack of peace brings about so many vices. We all ought to seek for peace, for with peace man is sustained. With peace comes joy, happiness and prosperity. Show me a man at peace and i will show you rich jealous people around him. One really doesn't need money or any physical wealth to feel peaceful. He or she just needs Christ and Understanding in order to experience it. We are thought how to cure sickness, how to build a plane, how to measure the heat of the sun and so many weird things. But  very much little is said about how to attain peace which is the fundamental of a human life. Today i will advice you to keep your bible as your close friend, enjoy reading it and with understanding, you will attain ever lastiing peace. Peace can never be bought, neither can it be given unto you. It is a gift of certain understainding. Have a wonderful day and your day be filled with peace.
