Paz- Formal Writing #2

Todo el mundo quiere, necesita, y deberia tener la paz. Mucha gente a perdido a familiares y/o amigos por causa de la violencia en el mundo. Creo que la paz no deberia ser impossible. Las guerras y el rencor contra alguien no es necesario. En colombia hay un dia que se celebra la paz. Si hubiera paz no hubieran tantos problemas y el mundo seria seguro, feliz y mucho mejor.
