We present you a beautiful poem on behalf of this International Day of Peace to soothe our souls and bring peace and harmony in life. This wonderful poem by an Irish poet William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) would definitely strengthen your mind to live a divine Life:
W. B. Yeats,
‘Peace’
Ah, that Time could touch a form
That could show what Homer’s age
Bred to be a hero’s wage.
‘Were not all her life but a storm
Would not painters paint a form
Of such noble lines,’ I said,
‘Such a delicate high head,
All that sternness amid charm,
All that sweetness amid strength?’
Ah, but peace that comes at length,
Came when Time had touched her form.
Promoting peace and harmony is the main focus of World Peace Day 2021, which is celebrated every year on the 21st of Sept. This day reminds humanity of all races and all nations to think about universal peace collectively.
In 1981 the United Nations named the 3rd Tuesday of Sept. as International Day of Peace. This day was also known to be the opening session of the UN General Assembly.
On this occasion, our aim is to observe a ceasefire for 1 day across all nations where fighting is going on.
The current year's theme is "recovering better for an equitable and sustainable world".
“If you are depressed you are living in the past,
if you are anxious you are living in the future,
if you are at peace,
you are living in the present.”
—Lao Tzu
