A TALE OF PEACE, FRIENDSHIP AND CONSENT
Storyteller : Hello guys! Do you know what happiness is? No?!.. Then I’ll tell you a fairy tale. Now I will touch this book, and we will find ourselves in a magical forest, where there are a lot of 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, many have tried to find these stones, but no one has succeeded so far.
Who can I ask for directions?
Where to look for the treasured forest?
There will be a lot of magic there
It will be a miracle of miracles!
Shakturel-shaturel,
Hurry up, open the door!
Shito-covered, turinas,
Let's leave immediately!
(A magical melody sounds. Forest clearing. 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 wish that there would be a lot of food in our forest - what happiness!
Hare : And I would wish that there would be many animals in our forest, and they would all live together - what happiness!
Hedgehog : And I would wish that our forest would be clean, cozy, beautiful - that would be happiness!
Bear : Yes...That's good...Let's all go look for gems together.
Fox : Oh, I'm afraid... They say that there, in the forest, Baba Yaga, Leshy, Koschei roam.
Hare : Are they also looking for gems?
Hedgehog : Probably... But if they find it, 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 one!
Baba Yaga : Hello, bony!
Koschey : What are you doing here, old man?
Baba Yaga : Never mind! So, I went out for a walk, to get some air.
Koschey : What other air? You're getting dark, old...Are you looking for gems?
Baba Yaga : Are you crazy, Koschey? What kind of gems? What are you doing here yourself? Are you walking around, rattling your knuckles?
Koschey : I? I...I... do exercises here - for my health!
Baba Yaga : Ha ha ha! Oh, I killed you! What other charge?! 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 if we find it, we’ll make such wishes that the whole forest will belong to us! We'll create a mess in the forest, we'll intimidate everyone, we'll torture everyone! Wow, how I love this!
Koschey : Let's! I love mess too. All animals will serve us. And I will only give orders!
Baba Yaga : Why are you going to order? I will order!
Koschey: No, me!
Baba Yaga : No, me! (fight)
(At this time, animals are approaching the clearing with the song “If you went on a journey with a friend.”)
Baba Yaga : Quiet! Hide!(hiding)
Bear : Let `s have some rest. How many times have passed, but there are no gems!
Fox : Or maybe there are none at all, huh? We walk and search, and everything is in vain...
Hedgehog : Eat! Must be! Will seek! Get up! Went!(leave)
Baba Yaga : You heard! Competitors!
Koschey : If they find the 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 clearing. The hare trips over something and falls.)
Hare : Oh oh oh! What is this? Some kind of stone...
Bear: Yes, it glows!
Fox : Hey hare, well done! These are, after all, gems!
Hare : Hooray! We found gems! Hooray!
(Baba Yaga and Koschey run in, take the stone, then fight among themselves.)
Hare : Help! Save! They're robbing!
(Bear, Fox, Hedgehog rush to help the Hare. The Mistress of the Copper Mountain appears.)
Mistress of Copper Mountain: Come on, stop it! The magic stone will reveal its secrets only to those who are worthy of it.
All in chorus: 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 : But we don’t know a single one!
Mistress of Copper Mountain: So listen and remember. Come on, animals, let's begin!
Bear, Hare, Hedgehog, Fox(one by one):

"In order for humanity to develop, an appeal to Gandhi is inevitable. He lived, thought, acted and inspired with his vision humanity, one that evolves towards 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 beings around. Living at peace with yourself can be seen as a process directed inward and outward. Outward 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 recognize the fear that drives us to violence, because as long as we ignore the rage within us, the storm raging outside will never cease.
While you can find ways to achieve peace with yourself and the universe according to your beliefs and lifestyle, there are some basic principles that cannot be ignored if you are seeking harmony. For example, one should not be cruel, one should be tolerant, hold moderate views and accept life as a miracle. This article contains some tips that will help on your path to discovering inner harmony, because this is the path for which only you are responsible.
Steps
- Think about peace, not about power. Gandhi said that power based on love is a thousand times more effective and lasting than power gained through threats. If you are used to controlling other people through threats, they will obey out of fear rather than out of respect or concern for you. This is not a peaceful path.
- Learn negotiation, conflict resolution, and persuasive communication skills. These essential constructive communication skills will help you avoid or overcome a conflict situation. Not all conflicts, however, can be avoided, and not all conflicts should be avoided, but you should be able to behave in a conflict situation. If you don't feel confident in this area of relationships, read more on this topic. Clarity of message is essential to ensure peace, as many conflicts arise from misunderstandings.
- When communicating with others, try to avoid a commanding tone, moralizing, threats, or deliberately asking for information. Any of these behaviors can lead to conflict because people will feel that you are trying to control them rather than talk to them as equals.
- Be confident that other people around you can live happy lives given the same starting points. Based on this, even advice carries a tendency towards control, because when giving advice, you are interfering in someone else’s life, and not just expressing your opinion, without expecting the person to act as you think. Swedish diplomat Dag Hammerskold once said: "Because he didn't know the question, it was easy for him to give the answer." When we give advice, we assume that we know the whole essence of the problem, but in fact, we hardly know this, which means we pass the situation through the prism of our experience. But it is much better to simply support a person than to impose your experience as an “answer”. This way you will cultivate peace, respect and confidence in their intelligence rather than insult and rejection.
-
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, rash behavior that lacks deliberation and self-reflection. While this may seem convenient because it allows you to act with confidence, it blocks other realities of 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 willing 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 willing to ask questions and reconsider the facts. Accept that your beliefs, faith, desires and opinions are not value-wise different from many other beliefs, faiths, desires and opinions in the world. Follow an ethic of moderation that values human dignity and essence, follow the one true extreme - treat others as you would like to be treated (Golden Rule)
- Find a variety of activities if you feel like you are going 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 a variety of people.
- Develop a sense of humor. Humor is the disarming spell of a peace fighter. Fanatics rarely have a sense of humor because they are too busy taking themselves and their beliefs too seriously. Humor helps relieve tension and expose the oppressive tendencies of extremist thinking.
-
Be tolerant. Tolerance in all your thoughts will change your life and the lives of those around you. Tolerance for other people is manifested in the ability to accept differences, the pluralism of modern society and the willingness to live and let others live. When we fail to treat others with tolerance, we end up with discrimination, repression, cruelty and violence. The practice of tolerance is the basis of a peaceful existence.
Be peaceful. Gandhi said: “There are many things for which I am ready to die, but there is not a single thing for which I am ready to kill.” A peaceful person does not use cruelty or violence against another person or animal (sentient being). 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 consideration could lead to a better outcome.
- If someone has hurt you emotionally or physically, you should not respond to them with anger or 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, simply remove yourself from the situation.
- Stop yourself. If you feel like you are about to respond in a way that shows anger, frustration or irritation, tell yourself “Stop.” Remove yourself from the situation that creates confusion and inability to reflect in you. By giving yourself space, you will also give yourself time to overcome the initial anger and replace it with thoughtful solutions, one of which is not reacting.
- Practice reflective listening. Spoken speech is not very accurate, and sometimes people under stress say things that hide the true meaning. John Powell said: "In true listening, we seek beyond words, trying to see through them the personality. Listening is a search for the treasure that is the personality, expressing itself 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 essence of what the person is really saying and meaning. This is more effective than questioning and guessing.
-
Strive for forgiveness, not retribution. What does the principle of "an eye for an eye" lead to? Usually to the point that many people go blind. Pointless and painful if you take into account the lessons that history teaches. No matter where we live, what religion we follow, or what culture we belong to, at our core we are all human beings, with the same ambitions and aspirations to provide for our families and live our lives to the fullest. Our cultural, religious and political differences should not become a bone of contention and the cause of conflicts that can only bring grief and destruction to the world. When you feel the need to harm another person because your reputation has been damaged or because you feel that their actions deserve the same cruel reaction, you cultivate anger, violence, regret. Replace it with forgiveness, in an attempt to live at peace with yourself and those around you.
- Live in the present, not the past. When you think about how things should have been and relive past pain, you are not letting go of the past, but you are creating ongoing 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 make peace with the past and enjoy life.
- Forgiveness lifts you up and frees you from hostility. The point of forgiveness is to learn to cope 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 sympathize with the other person, understand what motivated him. You don't have to accept what they did, just understand it.
- Realize that disguising your anger as “defending someone's honor” is offensive. Firstly, it takes away the autonomy of those you are "protecting" (and this in turn allows them to be helpless), and secondly, it is a cruel excuse for causing harm. If you believe that someone's honor has been violated in a particular situation, allow the alleged victim to speak up (they may see it in a different light than you) and seek a solution through forgiveness and deep understanding.
- Even if you feel that forgiveness cannot be granted, this is not a reason to resort to violence. Instead, step back and be a better person.
-
Find inner peace. Without inner peace, you will always feel conflict within yourself. 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 crave something that you don't have, you are in a state of conflict. It's easy to forget to be grateful for what you have when you're constantly striving to improve your wealth, career, home and life. Likewise, excess 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, and security.
- Review your priorities and decide what enriches your life and makes it better, and discard the rest.
- When you're angry, find a quiet place where you can stop, take a deep breath and relax. Turn off the TV, tape recorder and computer. If possible, get out into nature or take a walk. Turn on calm music and turn off the lights. When you regain your calm, return to your life.
- At least once a day, spend ten minutes in a quiet place, such as the shade of a tree or a park, anywhere you can sit quietly and without distractions.
- Living in peace does not simply mean the absence of violence and cruelty. Try to cultivate peace in all aspects of life - try to reduce stress. Whenever possible, it is necessary to avoid stressful situations such as traffic, crowds and the like.
-
Live in joy. The choice to accept life as a miracle is the antidote to violence. It's hard to be cruel to something that seems 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 open to seeing the good in people and the world and are grateful for the wonderful things in life.
- Don't deprive yourself of the right to happiness. Feeling like you are 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 prevent you from finding joy in life.
- Do what you love. Life is not just your job. While work is something that helps you provide a living, you need something to express yourself in the world. Fich Nhat Hanh said this: “Do not live with a calling that involves cruelty to people and nature. Do not invest in companies that deprive others of the opportunity to live. Choose a calling that allows you to express your ideal of compassion.” Decide for yourself how literally you are willing to take these words, and strive for work that helps you lead a peaceful lifestyle.
-
Be the change you want to see in the world. It’s not for nothing that we turn to Gandhi’s experience. There are many active ways to help you become the change you want to see in the world.
-
Expand your understanding of the world. You are free to choose your path. Everything you have 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, treat it like any other text. Ultimately, the choice to live in the world will be your own, conscious decision, based on your aspirations and views gleaned from 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 only touched the surface of what is a deep personal and global necessity. Read as much material on peace as possible, especially about peace activists and practitioners, you can learn a lot from them. Share your knowledge with others and spread the message of peace wherever you go.
Strive for love, not control over others. When you stop striving to control people and events in the world, you will take the first step towards a peaceful existence. An attempt to control people is nothing more than the desire to impose your will and reality on them, without wanting to look at the situation through their eyes. This controlling approach will keep you in conflict with others. Replacing the desire for control with love for others, despite their shortcomings and differences, is the path to a peaceful life.

Progress of the 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 was accomplished. Only the good done by man remains, and thanks to it, life is worth something.” Today we have gathered together to talk about peace and harmony, mutual understanding between people and friendship between them. Guys, please tell me what peace and harmony are? What are they needed for? How should we treat each other in order to live in peace? How do you understand the meaning of the expression “every 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 class. 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.
“A white man and a black man once met. White said: “How ugly you are, Negro! It’s like you’re covered in soot!” The black grinned contemptuously and said: “How ugly you are, white! It’s like you’ve been completely wrapped in paper!” They argued and 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 as 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 dispute and made peace. And the sage thought about the future. And he saw this picture... Black, white and yellow people were circling in a round dance, dancing and singing songs. They look at each other with love. And someone’s young voice drowns out the sounds of music and songs: “It’s so good that we are all different! Otherwise life would be so boring!”
Did you like this legend? What does she teach? How can you call this 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 Englishmen,
For Spanish children and for Russians,
Swedish, Turkish, German, French.
Blacks, whose homeland is the African coast;
For the redskins of both Americas.
For the yellow skinned ones 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
There are 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 the East,
And the children are with each other.
And now I suggest you play one game. It's called a greeting. You must stand in pairs and greet each other, as people of different countries do.
fold your hands (as in “prayer”) at chest level and bow (Japan);
rub noses (New Zealand);
shake hands while standing at a great distance from each other (UK);
hug each other tightly and kiss each other on the cheeks three times (Russia);
show language (Tibet);
shake hands very firmly while standing close to each other (Germany).
Can one religion interfere with another? No. U Every religion has its own characteristics and their teachings are useful. It is important for us to use the moral values of the religions of peoples, not to oppose them, but to study them. We live in one big house – Kazakhstan. In our country people of different nationalities are friends with each other. And now I suggest you choose what qualities a person living on planet Earth should have. We divide into 4 teams. In front of you is a sheet of paper with an outline of a person and an envelope with various human qualities. Groups must select qualities and write them around the outline of the person.
Envelope 1: condescension, schadenfreude, selfishness, conflict, kindness, respect, understanding, peacefulness, heartlessness, compassion, generosity, tactlessness.
Envelope 2: kindness, cordiality, boasting, equality, rudeness, mercy, arrogance, compassion, favor, respect, generosity.
Envelope 3: peacefulness, heartlessness, forgiveness, equality, respect, mercy, temper, dialogue, irritation, cordiality, conflict, generosity.
Envelope 4: support, peacefulness, cooperation, equality, compassion, stinginess, lies, harmony, envy, mercy, generosity, kindness.
Advertising of works. Think about it, do we all have these qualities?- Can we change ourselves? Can we cultivate in ourselves the qualities we are talking about? How can we do this? (children's answers). That’s right, if people have all the listed qualities, then wars and quarrels will disappear on Earth. People will not suffer and hate each other. All people just 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 OF THE NAILS
One father had a very hot-tempered and unrestrained son. One day he gave his son a bag of nails and told him to drive one nail into a wooden post whenever he could not control his anger.
On the first day, several dozen nails were driven into the column. Having seen with his own eyes the number of his outbursts of anger, the son began to strive to restrain his temper. Every day the number of nails hammered into the pillar decreased. The young man realized that it was easier to restrain his outbursts of anger than to drive nails.
Finally the day came when he never lost his composure. He told his father about this. He, after thinking a little, suggested that his son pull out one nail from the pillar every time he manages to restrain himself.
Finally, the day passed when the son informed his father that there was not a single nail left in the pillar. Then the father led his son to a wooden post and said to him:
You did well. But look, do you see how many holes there are in the pillar? He will never be the same again. When you say something evil to a person, he is left with the same scar as these holes. And no matter how many times you apologize after this, the scar will remain.
1. What moral lesson did the father teach his son?
2. Why is it important not to harm another person?
3. How do you understand the meaning of the expression “not to lose composure”?
At the end of our lesson, I would like each of you to write what positive qualities each of your classmates has. I will summarize the results for the next lesson. Let each of us, let our class, our school, our city and our Kazakhstan be islands of peace and harmony for all inhabitants of the big planet Earth.
People have come up with many beautiful expressions, aphorisms and proverbs about peace, harmony and harmony. Cicero believed that a happy life begins with peace of mind. It is in this state that he regains vitality.
Proverbs about peace and mental balance
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.
Balanced reflection is much more useful than impulses of despair, excessive excitement and increased nervousness.
Proverbs about peace and harmony make you think and encourage 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. Peace 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 peace is to live in peace.
- Light conquers darkness, and peace conquers war.
- Peace creates, war destroys.
- Our enemy is the one to whom peace is not dear.
- When you sow peace, you reap great happiness.
- A certain peace is better and safer than the expected victory.
- With the world it is spacious, with swearing it is cramped.
- It is not weapons that give strength, but people with good will.
Wise proverbs about peace are perfectly complemented by interesting expressions about agreement and harmony between people:
- Simplifying your life is one of the steps towards inner peace. Constant simplification will create internal and external well-being, which will bring harmony to life.
- Flowers need sun, and people need peace.
- Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in a person, there is harmony in the house. When there is harmony in the house, there is order in the country. When there is order in a country, there is peace in the world.
- Harmony makes small things grow; lack of it causes great things to decay.
- Art is parallel to nature.
- Logically, harmony must 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 exercise of reason, knowledge of the harmony of the Universe and the constant practice of generosity.
- From the very beginning, indigenous peoples have lived in harmony with everything around us.
- Alpha men are very attracted to an alpha woman, it's a lot of fun to work, it's probably a lot of fun to do things, but there is no lasting harmony in this lack of complement. There can only be 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 maintain peace. It must be held by the people (John F. Kennedy). There are many proverbs about peace, and many of them are actually worthy of attention, although the truths that people have long spelled out are incredibly difficult to implement in reality.
Peace in the interests of nations
Settlements 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 promote peace. If all intelligent beings on the planet observed all the simple truths set out in folk proverbs about peace and harmony, perhaps then peoples would learn to coexist in harmony and value their lives and the lives of others.
But for the time being, what we honorably call peace is in fact only a brief truce, according to which the weaker party renounces 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 a pervasive 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 at large. When we live in harmony with our authentic 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 things we could only dream of before. Living in harmony is a practice, a conscious choice of how we want to live.
Christian parableOne 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 made scandals with their husbands, did not stop this...
Blame in the family Parable of unknown origin
Two different families lived in neighboring houses. In one of them, the spouses quarreled all the time, and in the other there was always silence and mutual understanding. One day, envying the peace in a neighboring family, the wife asked her husband: - Go to the neighbors and see what they are doing...
Grape Sufi parable from Rumi
Once four people were walking together and in agreement: a Turk, a Persian, an Arab and a Greek, and somewhere they got hold of a dinar.
