Blog Prompt 12

Thus reading the article on Dalai Lama named “We need global, secular ethics | opinion” I seen many of the concerns Dalai had. Throughout the article education was a conversation that was brought up multiple times in comparison with many things. The biggest concept brought up would be peace according to her. She believed that people should stop or at least realized that everyone in the United states was interdependent within each other which wasn’t good since the United States is one of the leading nations that follow with the free world. The main commitment she had like i said was peace which was brought up many times for instance, ” The time has come to understand that we are the same human beings on this planet. Whether we want to or not, we must coexist.” With that said she believed that with all of us being in the same place it would be nice if we were all in the same page rather than all confused on where we stand and in different terms rather than joining together. She then follows the idea of peace by stating this, ” History tells us that when people pursue only their own national interests, there is strife and war. This is shortsighted and narrow-minded. It is also unrealistic and outdated. Living together as brothers and sisters is the only way to peace, compassion, mindfulness and more justice.” Which makes sense because if we look within all events that occurred many of the times chaos takes place it’s because someone wants something that will benefit them rather than them and their fellow partners, neighbors, etc. For instance that statement she had made could be correlated with the U.S. right now with the pandemic of COVID-19 many people headed out shopping for all supplies leaving the most vulnerable towards the sickness in need of supplies. The elderly were struggling for supplies which were the ones that would easily be affected by it making it a delima where we all should’ve thought about it first and helped them in a way so that they too would be in peace. She then later proceeds on the article with the people with education. She believes all teens are the solution to the problems in the future. If they are thought well and made aware of the dangers of the world they could eventually avoid that with higher education and the knowledge of fighting wouldn’t be a priority but talking would drop danger and would raise peace within each other. In her perspective we should all join as one rather than opposing each other because with religion and nature we are all one. With that being said the differences should be put aside so we can learn our similarities. With all of this done i believe that the peace she believes to bring in will have many benefits especially if we stop trying to be in a competition with each other it will help us all grow as a whole making it better for peace because we won’t be fighting or disagreeing for random inappropriate things. It’s all a unity that will have us all together. I too would be agreeing with the commitment of having the peace taken place. I would like to bring attention to the education in and out of school towards the kids so that the understand the meaning of peace so that they wouldn’t have to be in a survival life against others, but on the contrary they would have the ability to link with others to grow to the most peaceful and enjoyable place to be in. With all being said all we can do is start forming groups to join unity for instance a group i was once in to help community reach out and make their voices heard was a group called BROWN ISSUES, and it was a good experience knowing that at some points the kids had the chance to speak up without using violence so that they could be heard and they respected each other because they were all united.
