Youth is fresh in wits and intrepid in action, which ensures that they would never stoop down to any challenges. The youth of a Nation are the executors of impending. A new season has arrived for a new leaf to turn over. 

As quoted splendidly by Nelson Mandela that “The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow.”

Consequently, youth empowerment is not only requisite but it would prove to be the righteous route of endeavor. The boulevard to reinventing peace is inspiring and the youth have that intrinsic urge to attain the same.

INTRODUCTION:

The youth is unhindered from all fetters of burden, the burden of survival and endurance in taxing times and the very gesture is what apiece individual necessitate in their diurnal strife for futile subsistence [5, 6].

 

The turmoil imminent on the global village is foreseen and the inhabitants are in frantic distress. The only way to overcome this universal disorder is to endow with an unfathomable underpinning for amity and accord amid all fragments of human being, especially advancing the youth of the Nation.

 

Peace investigators and peace edification factions have gradually engrossed on consideration of the probable contributions that youth in the society could make in prospective peacebuilding and influential approaches they could espouse [4].

 

ELUCIDATION OF CONCEPTS

The various facets of the formulated paper deals with the fresh proposals and their appliance in Nation edifice and reinventing peace.

 

B–to–D Concept is the initial thought followed by the Go–to–Grow Concept. The concepts are part of life and if they could be understood meticulously, the going would be so relaxed.

 

 

Figure–1: B–to–D Concept Elucidation

 

The fragment deals with elucidation about B–to–D Concept. Lifetime is an expedition amid Birth [B] and Death [D] and none has any regulator on either of them. But, amid B and D, there is another letter C, which stands for Choice. It is an individual’s prerogative that how he/she wants to lead his/her life.

 

Does apiece individual necessitate a decent life or the struggle is on for settling to an extravagant lifestyle with a moderate and inept sustenance?

 

Habitually, the yearning is for both, but failure to attain the same is the harsh reality. Concurrently, the choice is for a good lifestyle than a good life.

 

Eventually the world is not contented copiously and it is foreseeable that the inhabitants would be unfortunately in instants of anguish for certain. 

 

Once apiece individual has the autonomy of choice, the question is “What to choose?”

 

This is the point where a new leaf turns over and the initial stride towards transformation is ensured and who better than the youth of the Nation at the helm of affairs.

A question always crops up in the mind that how to upsurge contentment and accomplish frequent moments of peace?

 

This is the instant of veracity, as alteration is ensured towards bringing in universal contentment so that apiece individual thrives in a contented world and not be self-seeking to sense content at the cost of others.

 

Life becomes monotonous as there is a sudden cease towards adding worth to it. The fundamental fact is that one should not only Go through life but also Grow through life. The moments of trance and harmony finds an equilibrium as the youth of the Nation not only reach (Go) numerous people in necessity of assistance but encompasses the identical wits and notion (Grow) to others in the process.

 

Figure–2: Go–to–Grow Concept Elucidation

 

 

As consciousness nurtures, Going at a pace in life develops to Growing with the pace in life and the instants of bliss and peace upsurges. The moments are cherished in reminiscence and tears of bliss endorse the same.

 

Apiece Nation is an amalgamation of a populace from distinct community, caste, creed, etc. but the route for expansion initiates from inside. The progression of the Nation in turn means progression of its populace and the thrust should always be on the same.

 

Evocatively both the concepts are unified in the sense that Choice plays as the substantial factor amid Birth [B] and Death [D] as well as Choice is absolutely requisite if someone yearns to Grow rather than merely Go.

 

Both the concepts elucidated in the section are of utter importance and by abiding to them, apiece individual could unearth amity and accord concealed within their lifestyle and bring about a petite alteration in the society they inhabit.

 

CONCLUSION:

A new leaf would actually turn over if the intention is virtuous and the implications are novel. The role of youth in Nation edifice and reinventing peace is substantial and the baton needs to be handed over with not only optimism but indemnity.

 

The world would be an excruciating dwelling to subsist if peace is a missing entity. Peace is the solitary optimal riposte for all types of mayhem and upheaval. Peace of apiece individual leads to peace of apiece community comprising of individuals and subsequently leads to peace of humanity in the entirety. 

 

At the culmination, the four lines from the Poem ‘Peace on Pieces’ by Chowdhury et al [3] persist to be so apposite with the theme of the paper and the crux of the content.

 

Pious endeavor is requisite to curb cruelty

A tender touch revivifies to combat                                      

Apiece atrocity to rekindle optimism

Uniting the pieces of peace with compassion
