Peace on Earth Essay
Hi Sirs and Ma'ams,
A law school and army story, if I may-
...
About seven years ago
When I was in law school
There once was this event
Where
Practicing attorneys were invited to our campus
And told their experiences
As practicing attorneys in the state
...
One gentleman in his sixties told us
"Some of my clients tell us
"They're so tired and just want to get it done and over with."
...
I guess it goes the same sometimes to the other party's clients too
...
Litigation stress
As attorneys
Or attorneys' family members
We all know
...
I was in US army once
I was single
But my buddies were married
...
When we deployed to Afghanistan
Year 2011
I had no problem
Or qualm
I was ready
To give up my life and limbs
For our country
...
But
My army buddies
It was a different story for them
They got spouses and kids left behind
...
So when we deployed to Afghanistan
We were ready
And well trained and prepared
And we were lucky
We all came back home
Safe and sound
With a few exceptions
We did indeed suffer from some incidents and we are very sorry-
...
But most of us came back safely
In 2012
Back to fort hood texas
It was a beautiful day in May, I think
...
I just want you to know
One of the reasons why
I'm pro-peace
Pro-settlement
...
We have struggles and incidents
In our respective lives
Life is a war, a battle
...
Everyday
When we go out there on the road
There are some rogue drivers
Some of them are career outlaws
Some of them are under influences
Some of them are angry at people
At the world
At politics perhaps
So sometimes
They drive too fast
They tailgate
They run red light
And get into accidents
. ..
Life is a war
We risk our lives and limbs
Whenever we go out there
...
But
There are good things in life too
...
If you have a family
How nice it is
To have people around you
Who would be beside you
no matter what
No matter when
No matter where
Your family is
Your most fervent advocate
Your most first defense
Your bestest attorneys
...
But
Some of us
Perhaps
Are less endowed
Perhaps some of us
Are alone
Though we may have good friends
...
So what I do
As an attorney
Is to put myself
In somebody else's shoes
And try to understand
Their circumstances
And their situations
...
Life is full of conflicts already
That's why
I do my very best
To be
And to play
A peacemaker
To make peace
To make everyone happy
..
It's because
There are more than enough sufferings already
...
Ladies and gentlemen
If we don't try to make happiness in the world
Who would?
...
Peace on earth please-
//:-)
