Man is peace lover

Whatever was the reason behind the creation of this universe it came into being and every specie started its life cycle with the pre-programmed firmware. The philosophy and physics of this universe have been explained by philosopher and scientists, religious scholars and a common person according to their own way of understanding and individual knowledge and approach, but all agree on a same point that the beauty of this universe is due to its nature. This 'nature' is 'natural' by virtue of its creation and every scene of this universe including sunrise or sunset, water or air current, rotation of heavenly bodies about their centres, crying of a baby or vibration of an electron in nth orbit of an atom are the reflection of the force creating all these phenomena.

According to religious scholars this 'force' has been named as God, Bhagwan, or Allah and this creator has designed Man as a peaceful, loving and caring specie. So by birth a Man is a peace lover.  Peace, the antonym of war, is as essential for Man as breathing, eating or living. Every religion of world preaches peace and demands the practice of same. Talk about any preacher or prophet, whether Budha or Jesus, Muhammad or Joseph, Guru Nanak or Moses (peace be upon all), you would realize that all of them gave the lesson of basic human rights, love and condemned war. This means they proclaimed nothing but peace and brought the humanity from the darkness to the brightness of heart and soul.

It can rightly be said that a peace loving atheist is much better than an extremist religious person who loves hatred and wars.

Since the birth of Adam (peace be upon him) it was decided that the Man on earth will not be left alone by God, therefore He sent messengers during different eras. These messengers expounded the will of God and expressed the same by their performance to their companions. For example, the Messiah or Jesus (peace be upon him) proclaimed nothing but peace by expressing that "If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also", this is one of the many evidences of love for peace in Christianity.

Islam is also a peace loving religion and the treaties of Hudaibiya and Mustaliq are just two examples from the history, in favour of the statement made. The Treaty of Hudaibiya was between Muslims and Jewish at the time of first Islamic State in Medina in the beginning of 7th century AD.

Lets come to the present we find that when a Pastor from Florida announced the burning of Quran on 9/11, he was condemned by a number of people around the world including peace loving Americans. In my recent article I was worried about this announcement but this could not happen due to the mature approach and logical protest made across the globe by peace loving followers of almost every religion.

"We want peace in this world", these and similar words were spoken by one of the runner ups Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi, at the US Open 2010 Mens Double Ceremony, as in this video. This gesture of politeness and love for peace by a tennis player of a third world country is a message on behalf of all his countrymen and religious fellows that every individual in this world is a peace lover by nature, because war is not the solution to any problem.

War sheds the blood and  evanescence of peace takes place as the war dominates.
