“Peace begins with a smile.”
– Mother Teresa

Peace. All of us didn`t understand the real preciousness of this word and time. And now after all that cruel and terrifying episodes in 2022, I think we all start to forget what is that, the meaning of that word. The Cambridge dictionary will show you that peace is freedom from war and violence, especially when people live and work together happily without disagreements. But I want to show you my meaning of that short, but a very important word.

For me peace is good sleep in your bed without any siren or explosions, its about having a long breakfast when you dont need to run somewhere, about having an opportunity to go outside without any anxiety and fear, about having a good cup of coffee, meeting your friends, having a conversation with your family and talk about some stupid things, not about death, but the most precious and definable thing is to wake up every day and think, Wow, I have a lot of stuff to do today,not, Wow, I`m still alive, what a surprise.

All in all, as we can see, peace can be in very small things, which all of us had, BEFORE the war. But we were so busy and didn`t appreciate this simple happiness. And I believe, that AFTER our win, we will change it and be grateful for what we have in life.
