Sometimes I imagine the world like a big canvas.
An artist stands in front of it with many colors. At first, it looks messy. Colors are scattered everywhere. Nothing seems clear. But slowly, with patience and care, the artist turns those scattered colors into a beautiful painting. When the painting is finished, people stand in front of it and admire the beauty.
In many ways, the world today feels like that unfinished canvas. There are conflicts, misunderstandings, and tensions between countries. Sometimes it feels like the colors are too dark. But then there are moments when leaders and nations try to bring calm, try to bring dialogue, and try to paint something better for humanity.
For me, the idea of Islamabad Peace Talks feels a little like that artist standing in front of the canvas.
Islamabad is not just the capital of Pakistan. It is a city surrounded by calm hills, green trees, and quiet roads. Anyone who has visited it knows there is a strange peace in its atmosphere. I remember visiting Islamabad once with a friend. We were sitting near a small tea stall in the evening. The air was cool, and the Margalla Hills looked beautiful in the distance. At that moment I thought to myself, if people can sit together like this and talk calmly, many problems of the world could become smaller.
Peace always begins with conversation.
When countries decide to sit together and talk, it is already a step forward. Talking means listening. Listening means understanding. And understanding often leads to solutions. This is why gatherings, dialogues, and peace talks are so important in today’s world.
Pakistan, despite facing many challenges of its own, has often tried to play a role in promoting peace and stability. Over the years, it has supported international peace efforts and participated in global discussions that aim to reduce tensions. These efforts might not always appear in big headlines, but they are part of a larger hope—that one day conflicts can be replaced with cooperation.
I personally believe peace is not created in one big moment. It grows slowly. Just like a painting, it takes time, patience, and many careful strokes.
Sometimes peace begins with a single meeting in a quiet conference room. Sometimes it begins with leaders shaking hands. And sometimes it begins with ordinary people believing that dialogue is better than anger.
If Islamabad can become a place where conversations about peace happen, even in small ways, that itself is meaningful. A city hosting discussions about harmony and cooperation sends a message to the world: problems should be solved with wisdom, not weapons.
In the end, every country adds its own color to the canvas of the world. Some colors are bright, some are soft, and some take time to blend with others. But when the intention is good, those colors can create something beautiful.
And maybe, just maybe, the canvas of our world can slowly turn into a masterpiece of peace.
