Peace Building to Address the Underlying Causes of Conflict

Peace making and peace building have seen to be important topics since the evolution of humankind. It is not just related to making peace with people you know or are close to, but with everyone around you, whether you know them or not. There are seen to be various disputes because of the lack of understanding and peace between the people. We need to improve and adapt the measures not just for the sake of personal benefit but for the nation as a whole. 

 

Importance of Peace Building 

  • It helps to avoid conflicts and allows people to live in harmony. It also helps to prevent conflicts in areas where there are none.
  • If seen on a grander scale, it also helps to create peace among individuals in the community and country.
  • Peace Seeking safeguards lives and properties by building peace and restricting violence. 
  • Creates a sense of unity among individuals.


Ways to Build Peace 

  • Always keep your mind and thoughts open to listen to the next person and understand their point of view.
  • Meditate on a daily basis to keep your mind calm.
  • Allow others to express their opinions when you are not sure about anything.
  • Put forward the happiness of others before yourself, just like taught in Jesus and justice conferences.
  • Follow a path that you wish others to follow you on, not the one that people follow blindly.
  • Make peace with the fact that you cannot be right all the time. Allow others to highlight the points where you are wrong.
  • Always believe in forgiving others irrespective of the anger you have. 
  • Increase your tolerance power to get a hold of your anger issues.
  • Show empathy for others feelings and work, keeping in mind they also have a heart that desires love and peace.

 

Not all of us might understand the importance of peace making at first, but with time you can learn the ways to make peace with others without getting violent or aggressive. There are various peace talks that teach you ways to keep your mind in control, irrespective of the situation you are in. To live in harmony is the most incredible way to live a life.

 

At The Center for Formation, Justice, and Peace, we believe every individual is equal and deserves the same amount of respect. Understanding and caring about other individuals’ feelings is what makes you capable of making peace.

If initiated by the third-party mediators, constructive communication can resolve conflicts in a much more peaceful manner. If the conflicting demands can be replaced with the underlying interests and goals of the parties, the resolution becomes easier. The third-party mediators will always try a win-win situ
