Today, September 21st is celebrated as International Day of Peace. To celebrate this day, together with hundreds of other communities, The Wahid Institute held a grand event to be held early on September 20th in Central Jakarta City Hall. According to Yenny Wahid, Director of The Wahid Institute, the themed of the celebration is "Together to Build Indonesia #Berani Damai (Dare To Peace)". The purpose of this is to express a message of peace –- in a bold and creative way, of course. "Even only for a day, stop spreading hate messages and give a message of happiness. Be well-behaved, think peacefully and be tolerant to all people," Yenny added.
The celebration also launched a campaign with Agnez Mo as the Peace Ambassador with the #IAMgenerationOfLOVE hashtag for social media. Agnez conveyed: "This is the greatest achievement of my life: I can share the values that I most trust: to love and forgive each other. I really feel honored to see the movement #IAMgenerationOfLOVE that I started and the ‘Oath of Love’ for which I wrote the script, Movement Declaration of Peace. "
"The greatest peace is when we are at peace with ourself. Make peace with yourself. When we can accept and make peace with our strength and weakness, we will also learn to accept the strength and weakness of others; when we can truly love and accept our shortcomings, we can love and forgive others," said Agnez.
This is the ‘Oath of Love’, titled ‘I Am Generation of Love’ by Agnez Mo:
“I am love. I am generation of love.
I don't hate.
I don't gloat over my brother in the day of his misfortune.
I don't take pleasure in seeing people’s trouble.
I am generation of love.
I love. I forgive.
Hatred is my enemy.
Love is my bullet.
I will change the world
And the change starts within me.
I am generation of love.
This is my oath.”
This is such a beautiful oath! I can help but wishing that we all will be the generation of love and make peace with everyone. By doing this, there will be a positive change in society. I am generation of love, what about you?
