Global Q&A: ‘Do all people around the world have a basic right to live in peace?’

Lima, Perú: Stephany Natividad, 31, Company Saleswoman: Yes! Everyone in the world should live in peace, but to receive peace one has to give peace. Then we would have a better world. Today the world is full of problems; there are killings, suicides, wars, et cetera, for various reasons. I think no one lives in peace. For example, in the home the family does not live in peace. In my case, I do not live in peace with my partner, the situation is very contentious, and I do not know when this situation will end. We each make own life, and live in the same home, and we have a daughter. I hope my situation is resolved.

Peace is beyond “a right,” it’s a “must have” for everyone. Apart from war, conflicts, and selfish desires in everyday life, there are obstacles to overcome to achieve the tranquility most people desire. This is what Epoch Times reporters from areas such as Peru to Australia discovered when they asked locals, “Do all people around the world have a basic right to live in peace?”
