STEEMCHURCH: TRANQUILITY AND SOLIDARITY

Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan.

Why is it, that there is widespread chaos in the world? Terrorist attacks, shootings, robberies, rapes, criminals running free and several cases of juvenile delinquencies can be witnessed. It is because we have forgotten our religion. The Guide by which we are supposed to live by. Every religion gives a message of peace and preaches it. They also encourage unity.

It is time to go over our religion again. To unite against all the evil that has seemed to envelope us. And practice peace. Peace can only prosper when there is peace radiating from within us.

Everything starts with ourselves. Even if we are to change the world, first we have to change ourselves. To practice peace we have to start off by practicing self control. There will only be peace around when we can stop ourselves from doing certain actions. For example, fighting our temptations. We should indulge in meditation and unfurl the worries in our minds and rid our mind of wrong thoughts.

Every religion revolves around a certain practice in order to keep a person on the right track. Muslims pray five times a day. Christians pay a weekly visit to the church. Jews pray as well. These practices are so that a person doesn't go astray. And when you submit to your God, there is a sense of peace and well being that flows through your existence.

In short, if we all return to the core of our religion and learn to be better human beings, peace and prosperity will establish again. After all, there is a code by which we are to live. And the code is within religion.
