Today, September 21, the world celebrates the "World Peace Day" with the aim of strengthening the ideals of peace among all nations and peoples. This year the campaign is entitled "United for Peace: Respect, Security and Dignity for All", a global initiative whose objective is that people who have been forced to leave their country in search of a better life can have respect, security and a dignified life, life.

Peace is not a matter of momentary, light and fleeting motivations or forces, but of a state of tolerance, this being the true and only basis of coexistence. Sometimes there is a lack of conviction at the family level to educate and cultivate peace and be tolerant, to accept ourselves as we are and respect differences. That is why it is important to recognize that change begins with us.
