Article: European Peace and Unity

Many wars took place in Europe. Although its number may be similar to other continents, Europe saw two wars with the largest scale in the history. The consequences of WWII gave birth to The United Nation and the end of Cold War gave birth, even though there may be other economical reason for its creation, to European Union was founded. Yes, it is obvious that there are many other reasons for the formation of the EU (whereas at the same time it saw its negative effect recently in Greece), but it brought peace and unity among many European nations, in which differed in culture and language. It brought the nations, whose characters widely varied, together under one banner.

The article published by Vision of Humanity discusses the formation of the European Union. One of the founder, Robert Schuman, said that the world peace cannot be kept unless we make efforts. EU was one of the major steps to prevent further wars from happening in the continent. Other nations from different continents participated in the war, but the central stage of both World Wars was in Europe. However, this is limited to only countries in the EU. The central stage is the world. It is now the time to stop all conflict in the world. HWPL right now is targeting the whole world, so that it will come together under one banner. This banner transcends both nation and religion.

The article also mentions that we need to have a larger perspective on this issue of peace. Also, as generations pass, the horror of war is only learned as history or just meaningless facts and information. However, the new and young generations must be reminded of the importance of peace and reaching to an agreement through peace, rather than physical force. This is to avoid the mistakes that were made by the older generation. We must learn to resolve a problem peacefully and also unite our thoughts together and overcome the difference.

I do not think difference is wrong or evil. Everyone is different in their own ways. However, these differences must not result in a conflict. Just like what happened in the WARP Summit, we must learn to talk to each other and discuss and respect each other's opinion to reach to an agreement.
