Today I was given the opportunity to view the Peace of Mind Exhibit at Northeastern's Student Union. The exhibit itself was a series of portraits and text lining the walls with different perspectives of what peace is. The individuals in the portraits shared there views on peace which ranged from almost tangible views to a variety of strong ideological views. They covered peace from a personal perspective to what peace may be at a global level. Various perspectives described peace at a spiritual level whereas others did so on a political level. However, there was on common factor that every single view of peace covered: lack of conflict. Each individual described peace as being free of some sort of conflict.
The Peace of Mind Exhibit brought forth new perspectives on the sort of mentality needed to combat hunger, poverty and injustice both here in the United States and around the globe. Ultimately, we as a people need to eliminate conflict amongst ourselves and with that will come a sense of selflessness that will contribute to the greater good of mankind. By overcoming our conflicts caused by selfishness, we can learn to help each other in order to ensure justice and equality for all.
