Having ideas and opinions that not everyone else agrees with can be very difficult. You have to truly believe in the possibilities, and also in yourself. I have struggled with this in my life, being strongly devoted to the fight for peace. Other people just don't seem to understand why peace is so important, and how much good it could do in our world. When others confront you about your different beliefs, and they will, do not back down. You must stand proud, and let them know what you believe in and why you believe. If they disagree and start to argue, do not become angered. Listen to what they have to say, and take it into consideration. Even if the other person isn't respectful of your opinions, you must try to be the "better" person. Remember learning the Golden Rule in elementary school? Respect the other person, and hopefully in time, they will return the favor. In order for the world to change its ways, we must be living examples of peace.
