= 1 OPINION WORLD PEACE STARTS - IF WE DON'T LIKE WHAT'S INSIDE US, WE CAN CHANGE IT SAYS MAQBOOL SHEKH ~~. Bae MAQBOOL ~ SHEIKH Column EET Ever notice no matter how hard you apply pres- sure to an orange, it will only give you orange juice? What comes out of us when pressure (stress, de- mands, requests, everyday life) is applied to us? Do we lash out or plan revenge? Do we show compassion and love? Like thg orange can on- ly give orange juice, we can only give what is inside us. Good news, if we do not like what is inside us, we can change it. Can we expect world peace when the majority of us does not - experience peace in our own lives? How do we achieve world peace? That's per- haps the golden guestion of life. There are nine basic principles (thepathwayto- peace.com) and, if we ap- ply them, we can effect and pressure our fellow hu- mans and governments to also make this change. Recognize the one cre- ator, who created all of us - as equals - and upholds hu- man values. Secondly, fulfilling the rights and needs of others with the same zeal and pas- sion we pursue for our- selves leads to absolute justice. Absolute justice leads to trust. Trust does not insist that 'my way' is the only or ~~best way and imposing this on others. With love, ful- filling the needs of others in the manner they like is key. Fear of change, fear of the unknown or fear of having less by sharing our wealth leads to injustice. Respecting others, recog- nizing the basic human needs we all strive to fulfil and being focused on oth- ers with the same regular- ity and passion we have to fulfil our own allows for the beginning of new re- sults in our relationships. Nuclear disarmament is good, unless you are fo- cused on protecting your- self and 'your own' with lit- tle thought or relevance to the humanness of others in our global family of hu- manity. Likewise, in our fami- lies and relationships, if we give preference to our own interest and are willing to take up weapons - vio- lence, threats, abuse, etc. - in an effort to.get our way at all cost, we will never achieve peace. Service to others is key to peace. Take action. Volunteer. Donate. Consider making a contribution to humani- tyfirst.ca. Use your abili- ties to remove the hard- ships of others - family and innocent people alike - aid comfort them with com- passion. As a Canadian Muslim, I know these are Islamic values. I also know these are values shared by all re- ligions. Knowing that all we have was given by God and - being grateful to him. We are reminded to serve in a just manner, with grace: _ and mercy. Islam reminds us, eventually we give ac- count to God for our ac- tions. Magbool Sheikh is the director of advocacy and public relations with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Ja- ma'at Canada.
