In the name of God<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greetings and Blessings<\/p>\n

I honor World Peace Day, which has been a pleasurable concept and unattainable dream throughout human history, and I congratulate this day to humanity.<\/p>\n

Humankind is the only being who understands the meaning and reason of peace and wishes to find a way other than wildlife traits towards survival. All living beings are in a constant struggle to survive, and each creature employs a strategy to achieve this goal. Although human beings have never departed from the common wildlife traits of survival to achieve their dreams, they are the only beings internally programmed to live out their dreams peacefully and free from any violence by relying on their reasoning. This tendency can be defined as humankind’s desire for peace, and the expansion of world peace can be defined as human beings\u2019 initiation to rethink their means of survival and to allow all human beings the opportunity to live peacefully and have a chance to fulfill their dreams without being a slave or a slaver. It is also possible for humanity to devote the time and opportunities spent on defending peace through entering into war, on self-knowledge and self-realization.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that humankind, capable of thinking, is internally equipped and talented to achieve peace and a peaceful life. However, not having departed from the primitive life stage of the ancient historical despotism, human beings continue to bear the active desire for brutality through the use of force, and despite scientific and technological advances, they have not yet been transferred to the modern era of thoughtfulness. Even in this way, regrettably, scientific and technological advances have contributed to human backwardness in the direction of belligerence, ferocity, and survival-oriented mindset, and have become huge obstacles against the emergence of exceptional and unique human potential. It should be noted that science and technology in this regard have also caused irreparable damage to the body of human peace by disseminating the idea of insignificance of man and the earth.<\/p>\n

However, in short, the development of world peace means preparing the ground for human intellectual development to be reconciled with thoughtfulness, breaking away from despotism, valuing humanity and the earth, and allowing all human beings, regardless of religion, race, nationality, gender, etc. to have the right to live and enjoy the natural blessings of the earth. The earth belongs to everyone, even to posterity, as they too have the rightful demand from us to preserve this unique earth for them and to provide them with peaceful living conditions before they are born. Hence, to achieve this goal, human beings must leave ignorance behind. For the endangerment of peace is caused by the ignorance of a handful of backward despotic minds who pretend to be modern whereas from inside they are prehistoric in thought and manner, and by all those who are looting the wealth of nations through oppressions and are occupying humanity\u2019s mind with their evil deeds.<\/p>\n
