A TALE OF PEACE, FRIENDSHIP AND CONSENT

Storyteller : Hello guys! Do you know what happiness is? No?! .. Then I'll tell you a story. Now I will touch this book, and we will find ourselves in a magical forest, where there are many different animals. They say that in this forest there is a place where the Mistress of the Copper Mountain keeps gems. And whoever finds these gems will be happy. Yes, only many have tried to find these stones, but no one has succeeded so far.

Who should I ask for directions?

Where to look for the cherished forest?

There will be a lot of magic

There will be a miracle of miracles!

Shakturel-Shaturel,

Open up quickly, door!

Shito-covered, turinas,

We set off immediately!

(A magic melody sounds. Forest glade. Bear, Fox, Hare, Hedgehog come out.)

Bear : They say that if you find these gems, you can make three wishes. What wish would you make, Lisa?

Fox : I would have guessed that there was a lot of food in our forest - this is happiness!

Hare : And I would have thought that there were many animals in our forest, and they all lived together - this is happiness!

Hedgehog : And I would have thought that it would be clean, comfortable, beautiful in our forest - this will be happiness!

Bear : Yes ... It's good ... Let's all go looking for gems together.

Fox : Oh, I'm afraid ... They say that there, in the forest Baba Yaga, Leshy, Koschey wander.

Hare : Are you also looking for gems?

Hedgehog : Probably ... But if they find, they will make completely different wishes ...

Bear : Then we must hurry! Go ahead, friends! On the road!

(They leave. Baba Yaga and Koschey meet in the clearing.)

Koschey: Hello, old!

Baba Yaga : Hello bony!

Koschey : What are you doing here, old one?

Baba Yaga : Never mind! So, I went out for a walk, to breathe air.

Koschey : What other air? Darkening, old ... Looking for gems?

Baba Yaga : Are you crazy, Koschey? What kind of gems? What are you doing here yourself? Walking, wandering, knuckle knuckles?

Koschey : I AM? I… I… do exercises here - for health!

Baba Yaga : Ha ha ha! Oh, killed! What kind of charging ?! Admit it, are you looking for gems?

Koschey : What other gems? ... Well, yes, I'm looking ...

Baba Yaga : Let's search together ... It's more fun together. And we will find, we will make such desires that the whole forest will belong to us! Let's make a mess in the forest, scare everyone, torture everyone! Wow, how I love it!

Koschey : Let's! I love the mess too. All the animals will serve us. And I will only order!

Baba Yaga : And what are you going to order? I will order!

Koschey: No, me!

Baba Yaga : No, me! (fight)

(At this time, the animals are approaching the clearing with the song "If you went out with a friend".)

Baba Yaga : Quiet you! Hide!(hiding)

Bear : Let `s have some rest. How many have passed, but there are no gems!

Fox : Or maybe they don't exist at all, huh? We walk, we look, and all in vain ...

Hedgehog : There is! Must be! Will seek! Get up! Went!(leave)

Baba Yaga : You heard! Competitors!

Koschey : If they find gems, they will drive us out of the forest.

Baba Yaga : And we will outwit them, we will follow them. If they find the gems, we will steal them!(leave)

(Forest glade. The hare stumbles over something and falls.)

Hare : Oh oh oh! What is it? Some kind of stone ...

Bear: Yes, it glows!

Fox : Oh yes, hare, well done! Well, no way, gems!

Hare : Hooray! We found the gems! Hooray!

(Baba Yaga and Koschey run in, take the stone, then fight among themselves.)

Hare : Help! Save! Robbing!

(Bear, Fox, Hedgehog rush to the aid of the Hare. The Mistress of the Copper Mountain appears.)

Mistress of Copper Mountain: Well, stop! The magic stone will reveal its secrets only to those who deserve it.

All in unison: To whom?

Mistress of Copper Mountain: And to those who value friendship, who will pass the test. Whoever knows more proverbs and sayings about friendship will receive a magic stone.

Koschey and Baba Yaga : We don't know a single one!

Mistress of Copper Mountain: So listen and remember. Well, the animals have begun!

Bear, Hare, Hedgehog, Fox(in turn):

Class hour on the topic: "Peace and harmony among people - the path of mankind."

Objective: To expand students' understanding of the concepts of "peace" and "agreement".

Tasks:

Revealing the concept of "peace-loving man";

Development of the ability to peacefully interact with people around;

Fostering a sense of respect for each other, regardless of skin color, nationality, traditions, views.

Form of conducting: lecture, conversation.

Class hour:

Hello dear guests of our meeting! The epigraph to our conversation will be the words of J.J. Rousseau: “Life lasts only a moment: in itself it is nothing; its value depends on what has been done. Only the good, done by man, remains, and thanks to him life is worth something. " Today we have come together to talk about peace and harmony, about mutual understanding between people and friendship between them. Guys, tell me, please, what is peace and harmony? What are they needed for? How do you need to relate to each other in order to live in peace? How do you understand the meaning of the expression "each person is unique and inimitable"? Guys, every person is unique, and peace and harmony between people largely depend on their conscious desire to help and accept others, on their ability to respect themselves and others, regardless of age, language, nationality and social belonging. Popular wisdom says: "Peace on earth begins with love and harmony in everyone's heart." How do you understand this wisdom? Now I want to tell you an old legend.

“Once a white man and a black man met. White said: "What are you ugly, black! You, as if all smeared with soot! ". Black grinned contemptuously and said: “How ugly you are, white! As if you were all wrapped in paper! " They argued, argued, and still could not come to an agreement. And they decided to go to the sage. The sage listened to them and said to the white man: “Look how handsome your black brother is! He is black, like the southern night, and in it, like the stars, his eyes shine ... ”. Then the sage turned to the black man: “And you, friend, look how handsome your white brother is! He is beautiful, like the sparkling white snow that lies on the tops of our mountains, and his hair is the color of the sun ... ”. The black and white were ashamed of their argument and made up. And the sage was thinking about the future. And he presented himself with such a picture ... Black, white and yellow people are spinning in an oar round dance, dancing and singing songs. They look at each other with love. And someone's young voice overlaps the sounds of music and songs: “How good that we are all different! Otherwise it would be so boring to live! "

Did you like this legend? What does she teach? How can you call it in one word? That's right, peace.

Poem by S. Marshak "World Round Dance"

Poems for children of all nations and countries:
For the Abyssinians and the British,
For Spanish children and for Russians,
Swedish, Turkish, German, French.
Negroes, whose homeland is the African coast;
For the Redskins of the Americas.
For the yellow-skinned who get up
It is necessary when we go to bed.
For the Eskimos in the cold and snow
They climb into a fur bag for the night.
From tropical countries where in the trees
Countless monkeys;
For children dressed and naked.
Those who live in cities and villages.
All this noisy, perky people
Let them gather in one round dance.
Let the North of the planet meet the South,
West - with East,
And the children are with each other.

Now I suggest you play one game. It is called a greeting. You must stand in pairs and greet each other, as people of different countries do.

    fold your arms (as in "prayer") at chest level and bow (Japan);

    rub your noses (New Zealand);

    shake hands while standing at a great distance from each other (Great Britain);

    hug tightly and kiss each other three times on the cheeks (Russia);

    show tongue (Tibet);

    shake hands very tightly, standing close to each other (Germany).

Can one religion interfere with another? No. Have each religion has its own characteristics and their teachings are helpful. It is important for us to use the moral values ​​of the religions of peoples, not to oppose them, but to study. We live in one big house - Kazakhstan. People of different nationalities are friends in our country. And now I suggest you choose what qualities a person living on planet Earth should possess. We are divided into 4 teams. Before you lies a sheet of paper with a human outline and an envelope with various human qualities. Groups should pick up the qualities and write them around the contour of the person.

Envelope 1: condescension, malevolence, selfishness, conflict, kindness, respect, understanding, peacefulness, heartlessness, compassion, generosity, tactlessness.

Envelope 2: kindness, sincerity, bragging, equality, rudeness, mercy, conceit, compassion, benevolence, respect, benevolence.

Envelope 3: peacefulness, heartlessness, forgiveness, equality, respect, mercy, arrogance, dialogue, irritation, warmth, conflict, greatness.

Envelope 4: support, peacefulness, cooperation, equality, compassion, avarice, lies, consent, envy, mercy, greatness, kindness.

Advertising of works. Think, do we all have these qualities?- Can we change ourselves? Can we cultivate the qualities that we are talking about? How can we do this? (Children's answers). That's right, if people possess all the listed qualities, then wars and quarrels will disappear on Earth. People will not suffer and not see each other. Only all people need to learn to love this world, to love it as it is. I want to tell you one parable: "The parable of the nails."

PARABLE ABOUT NAILS

One father had a hefty hot-tempered and unrestrained son. Once he gave his son a bag of nails and ordered, whenever he didn’t contain his anger, to drive one nail into a wooden pillar.

On the first day, it turned out that several dozen nails had been driven into the pillar. Seeing with his own eyes the number of his outbursts of hatred, the son began to zealous to restrain his temper. Every day the number of nails driven into the pillar decreased. The young man realized that it was easier to contain his outbursts of anger than to drive in the nails.

Finally the day passed when he never once lost his composure. He told his father about it. He, after thinking a little, suggested that his son pull out one nail at a time from the post every time he managed to restrain himself.

Finally, the day passed when the son informed his father that not a single nail remained in the pillar. Then the father led his son to a wooden post and said to him:

You did well. But look, see, how many holes in the pillar? He will never be the same as before. When you say something evil to a person, he is left with the same scar as these holes. And no matter how many times after that you apologize, the scar will remain.

1. What personal lesson did a father teach his son?

2. Why is it important not to hurt another person?

3. How do you understand the meaning of the expression "do not lose self-control"?

At the end of our lesson, I would like each of you to write what positive qualities each of your classmates possesses. For the next lesson, I will summarize the results. May each of us, may our class, our school, our city and our Kazakhstan be islands of peace and harmony for all inhabitants of the great planet Earth.

"In order for humanity to develop, turning to Gandhi is inevitable. He lived, thought, acted and inspired with his vision a humanity that is evolving to a world of harmony." - Martin Luther King

Peace is not just a concept for hippies! Living in peace means living in harmony with yourself, the people around you and all living things around. Living in peace with oneself can be viewed as a process directed inward and outward. Outward-facing is a way of life in which we respect and love each other, regardless of our religious, cultural and political differences. Internally, we must look deep into our minds and hearts to realize the fear that pushes us to cruelty, because as long as we ignore the rage within us, the storm raging outside will never stop.


While you yourself can find ways to achieve peace with yourself and the universe in accordance with your beliefs and lifestyle, there are some basic points that cannot be ignored if you are looking for harmony. For example, one should not be cruel, one should be tolerant, hold a moderate view, and accept life as a miracle. This article contains some tips that will help you on your path to discovering inner harmony, because this is the path for which only you are responsible.

Steps

    Strive for love, not control over others. When you stop striving for control over people and events taking place in the world, you will take the first step towards a peaceful existence. An attempt to control people is nothing more than a desire to impose their will and reality on them, not wanting to look at the situation through their eyes. This controlling approach will keep you in conflict with those around you. Replacing the desire for control with love for others, despite their shortcomings and differences, is the way to a peaceful life.

    • Think about the world, not about power. Gandhi said that power based on love is a thousand times more effective and lasting than power based on threats. If you are used to controlling other people with threats, they will obey out of fear, not out of respect or concern for you. This is a non-peaceful path.
    • Learn skills in negotiation, conflict resolution, and persuasive communication. These critical constructive communication skills can help you avoid conflict or get out of conflict. Not all conflicts, however, can be avoided, and not all conflicts should be avoided, but one should be able to behave in a conflict situation. If you do not feel confident in this area of ​​the relationship, read more on this topic. A clear message is essential to ensure peace, as many conflicts arise from misunderstandings.
    • When communicating with others, try to avoid commanding tone, moralizing, threats, or deliberate elicitation of information. Any of these forms of behavior can become a reason for a conflict situation, since people will feel that you are trying to control them, and not talk to them as equals.
    • Rest assured that the other people around you can live a happy life with an equal starting point. Based on this, even advice carries a tendency towards control, because by giving advice, you are interfering in someone else's life, and not just expressing your opinion, without expecting that the person will do what you think. Swedish diplomat Dag Hammerskold once said: "Since he did not know the question, it was easy for him to answer." When we give advice, we assume that we know the whole essence of the problem, but in fact, we hardly know it, which means we pass the situation through the prism of our experience. But it is much better to simply support the person than to impose your experience as a "response." In this way, you will cultivate peace, respect and confidence in their intelligence, rather than insult and rejection.
  1. Reduce your beliefs. When you think in extremes and are convinced of something without taking into account the views and opinions of others, you cannot live in harmony with the world. This type of extremist thinking usually results in harsh, reckless behavior that lacks thoughtfulness and self-reflection. While this may seem convenient as it allows you to act with confidence, it blocks other realities in the world and can easily lead to conflict with people who do not share your beliefs. It is much more difficult to remain open to perception and ready to reconsider your beliefs, but it is more valuable because you will grow as a person and live in harmony with the people around you.

    • Moderate your extreme beliefs, be prepared to ask questions and rethink facts. Accept that your beliefs, beliefs, desires, and opinions are no different in value from many other beliefs, beliefs, desires, and opinions in the world. Follow an ethic of moderation that values ​​human dignity and essence, follow one true extreme - treat others the way you would like to be treated (The Golden Rule)
    • Find a variety of activities if you feel yourself drifting to extremes in your relationships with people. It's hard to be intolerant when you have a lot to do and need to interact with all kinds of people.
    • Develop a sense of humor. Humor is a peacemaker's disarming spell. Fanatics rarely have a sense of humor because they are too busy taking themselves and their beliefs too seriously. Humor helps to ease tensions and show the repressive tendencies of extremist thinking.
  2. Be tolerant. Tolerance in all your thoughts will change both your life and the lives of those around you. Tolerance towards other people is manifested in the ability to accept differences, the pluralism of modern society and the willingness to live oneself and let others live. When we fail to be tolerant of others, we end up with discrimination, repression, brutality and violence. The practice of tolerance is the foundation of a peaceful existence.

    Be peaceful. Gandhi said, "There are many things that I am willing to die for, but there is not one thing that I am willing to kill for." A peaceful person does not use cruelty and violence against another person or animal (intelligent creature). There is a lot of violence in the world, but it is your choice not to let death and violence be your philosophy of life.

    Analyze. This is very important, since many hasty reactions lead to tragic consequences, because in a hurry, not all possibilities can be taken into account. Naturally, there are situations in which quick action is necessary to ensure safety, but this does not justify many other cases in which careful thought might lead to a better result.

    • If someone has hurt you emotionally or physically, you should not respond with spite and cruelty. Stop and think. Make a peaceful choice.
    • Ask the other person to stop and think that anger and violence cannot solve problems. Just say, "Please don't do this." If they refuse to stop, just get out of the situation.
    • Stop yourself. If you feel like you’re about to respond in a way that demonstrates your anger, frustration, or annoyance, say “Stop” to yourself. Remove yourself from a situation that creates confusion and an inability to reflect in you. By giving yourself space, you also give yourself time to overcome your initial anger and replace it with thoughtful solutions, one of which is not reacting.
    • Practice reflective listening. Speaking is not very accurate, and sometimes people under stress say things that hide their true meaning. John Powell said: "In true listening, we seek beyond words, we try to see the person through them. Listening is a treasure hunt, which is a person who expresses himself verbally and non-verbally." The importance of reflective listening for achieving peace is that you stop seeing the person only from your side and try to get to the bottom of what the person really says and means. This is more effective than asking and guessing.
  3. Seek forgiveness, not retribution. What does the "eye for an eye" principle lead to? Usually it means that many go blind. It is pointless and painful when you consider the lessons of history. It doesn't matter where we live, what religion we adhere to, or what culture we belong to, basically we are all people, with the same ambitions and aspirations to provide for our family and live a full life. Our cultural, religious and political differences should not become the bone of contention and the cause of conflicts that can only bring grief and destruction to the world. When you feel the need to hurt another person because your reputation has suffered or because you feel that their actions deserve the same brutal response, you cultivate anger, violence, regret. Replace it with forgiveness in an effort to live at peace with yourself and others.

    • Live in the present, not the past. When you think about how everything was supposed to be and relive past pain, you are not letting go of the past, but provoking constant internal conflict. Forgiveness allows you to live in the present, look forward to the future, and leave the past behind. Forgiveness is the greatest victory because it gives you the opportunity to come to terms with the past and enjoy life.
    • Forgiveness lifts and frees you from dislike. The point of forgiveness is to learn how to deal with the negative feelings that arise as a result of the action that caused your anger or sadness. Your task is to learn to accept them, not suppress them. And forgiveness makes you co-feel with the other person, to understand what moved him. You don't have to accept what they've done, just understand it.
    • Realize that disguising your anger as "protecting someone's honor" is offensive. First, it takes away the autonomy of those you “protect” (and this in turn allows them to be helpless), and second, it is a brutal excuse for causing harm. If you think honor has been hurt in a certain situation, allow the intended victim to speak up for themselves (they may see it in a different light than you) and seek solutions through forgiveness and deep understanding.
    • Even if you feel that forgiveness cannot be granted, that is not a reason to resort to violence. Instead, step back and be a better person.
  4. Find inner peace. Without inner peace, you will feel the conflict within yourself all the time. Trying to fill your life with objects, or raising your social level without the ability to stop and listen to yourself, will make you constantly feel unhappy. When you yearn for something that you don't have, you are in a state of conflict. It is very easy to forget to be grateful for what you have if you are constantly striving to improve your well-being, career, home, and life. Likewise, surplus wealth creates a similar conflict, because by owning a lot, you will be forced to follow the "needs" of your things, be it repairs, cleaning, insurance or safety.

    • Re-prioritize and decide what makes your life better and better, and discard the rest.
    • When you are angry, find a quiet place to stop, take a deep breath, and relax. Turn off your TV, recorder and computer. If possible, get out into nature, or take a walk. Play soft music and turn off the lights. When you regain your peace of mind, return to your life.
    • Spend ten minutes at least once a day in a quiet place, such as under the shade of a tree or in a park, anywhere where you can sit quietly without distractions.
    • Living in peace means more than just the absence of violence and cruelty. Try to cultivate peace in all aspects of life - try to reduce stress. Whenever possible, stressful situations such as traffic, crowds and the like should be avoided.
  5. Live in joy. Choosing to accept life as a miracle is the antidote to violence. It is difficult to be cruel with what appears to be beautiful, wonderful, amazing, and joyful. Indeed, the greatest despair that wars bring is the destruction of innocence, beauty and joy. Joy brings peace to your life, because you are always ready to see the good that is in people and in the world, and you are grateful for the wonderful manifestations of life.

    • Don't deprive yourself of your right to happiness. Feeling like you're unworthy of happiness, worrying about how others will perceive your happiness, and fearing the horror that awaits when happiness ends are all negative thought patterns that can hinder your pursuit of joy in life.
    • Do what you love. Life is not just your job. While work is what helps you live, you need something to express yourself in the world. Fitch Nath Khan put it this way: "Do not live with a vocation that is cruel to people and nature. Do not invest in companies that deprive others of the opportunity to live. Choose a vocation that allows you to express your ideal of compassion." Decide how literally you are willing to take these words, and strive for work that helps you lead a peaceful life.
  6. Be the change you want to see in the world. We are not just referring to the experience of Gandhi. There are many active ways that can help you become the very change you want to see in the world.

  7. Expand your understanding of the world. You are free to choose your path. Everything you read in this article is just a suggestion. You should not follow this as a dogma, this is not an attempt to impose thinking on you, take it like any other text. In the end, the choice to live in peace will become your own, conscious decision based on your aspirations and views, gleaned in different parts of the world, from all the people you have ever met, as well as from your own conscience and knowledge. Go in peace.

    • Keep learning. This article has just touched the surface of what is deeply personal and global necessity. Read as much material as possible on the topic of peace, especially about activists and practitioners in this area, you can learn a lot from them. Share your knowledge with others and spread the teachings of the world wherever you go.

People have invented many beautiful expressions, aphorisms and proverbs about peace, harmony and harmony. Cicero believed that a happy life begins with a calm mind. It is in this state that he regains vitality.

Proverbs about peace and peace of mind

Calmness is necessary in order to accept what cannot be influenced, courage - in order to change what can be changed, and wisdom - in order to be able to feel the difference between them.

There is much more sense from balanced reflections than from outbursts of despair, excessive excitement and increased nervousness.

Proverbs about peace and harmony make you think and urge you to react calmly to everything. Come spring, and the flowers bloom themselves. This means that if something happens and it is impossible to influence it, then you should not throw negative emotions out in vain. Calm and contentment are purifying.

Quotes and aphorisms about peace and harmony

Here are some interesting expressions and proverbs about peace with each other:

  • To live in the world - to live in peace.
  • Light conquers darkness, and peace conquers war.
  • Peace creates, war destroys.
  • The enemy is the one to whom the world is not dear.
  • You sow the world - you reap great happiness.
  • The definite world is better and safer than anticipated victory.
  • It is spacious with the world, with swearing closely.
  • It is not weapons that give strength, but people with good will.

Wise proverbs about peace are perfectly complemented by interesting expressions about harmony and harmony between people:

  • Simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. Constant simplification will create inner and outer well-being that brings harmony to life.
  • Flowers need the sun, and people need peace.
  • Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in character. When there is beauty in a person, there is harmony in the house. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the country. When there is order in a country, there is peace in the world.
  • Harmony makes the little things grow, the lack of this leads to the decay of the great things.
  • Art is parallel to nature.
  • Logically, harmony should come from the heart and be based on trust. The use of force creates fear. Fear and trust cannot go together.
  • Happiness exists on earth, and it is achieved through the intelligent realization of the mind, the knowledge of the harmony of the universe and the constant practice of generosity.
  • From the very beginning, indigenous peoples lived in harmony with everything that surrounds us.
  • Alpha men are very attracted to alpha women, it's a lot of fun to work, maybe a lot of fun doing things, but there is no lasting harmony in this lack of complement. There can be only one person in the driver's seat.

Peace is a daily, weekly, monthly process, a gradually changing view, slowly breaking down old barriers, quietly creating new structures. Weapons alone are not enough to keep the peace. It must be kept by people (John F. Kennedy). There are many proverbs about the world, and many of them actually deserve attention, although the truths long written by people are incredibly difficult to implement in reality.

Peace in the interest of nations

Calculations may be temporary, but the actions of nations in the interests of peace and justice must be permanent. Hopefully, people will eventually do more to advance the world. If all intelligent beings on the planet observed all the simple truths set forth in popular proverbs about peace and harmony, maybe then the peoples would learn to coexist in harmony and value their life and the lives of others.

But so far what we dignifiedly call peace is in fact only a brief truce, according to which the weaker side abandons its claims, just or unjust, until it finds an opportunity to establish them with fire and sword. We must make constant attempts to live in harmony with nature and reconnect with the organic roots of our being, with the healing timelessness of human existence.

Harmony and serenity

Peace can be seen as the opposite of war, or as an all-pervading sense of well-being. In general, it means a state of serenity and harmony, in which there is a general feeling of friendship and affection for the world in general. When we live in harmony with our true selves and align our work, habits, relationships, money, thoughts and actions with our true values, we experience a greater sense of peace and happiness in all aspects of our lives. We can achieve what we could only dream of before. Living in harmony is a practice, a conscious choice of how we want to live.

Christian parable

One man, hot-tempered and unrestrained, was married to a quiet and meek woman. Over the years, his temper became more and more obstinate, but he and his wife lived in peace and harmony. The wife's friends, who often quarreled and scandalized with their husbands, did not stop this ...
