The Ugliness of War
Power, an abstract thing that can lead to a new age or a chaotic age. Very
Unfortunately, power is being misuse by certain irresponsible politicians in our era.
Wars are declared, veiled by sweet reasons; to bring peace to the world,that's what they say. but what hidden inside, is the ugliness of war, to satisfy their own selfishness. Soldiers that once served for the purpose of protecting and guarding their beloved country, are used to rob others' treasure, and even fooled as ¡°killing machines¡±. Technology, which is supposed to bring happiness to human, is misused to invent another more and more harmful and destroying weapons. Money is thrown into the deep pit of war ¨C billion of dolar in national fund is used in battlefield instead of bringing a better life for their citizen. Politicians couldn't hear the voice of civilian, the voice crying for a better life, a peaceful yet advanced life, which all these can be done if the money throw would to be use in constructing a country. Why is this happens? The reason is the politicians hears nothing but the clinging sound of coins in their pouch and the zooping sound of missiles slashing thru dark night. At last, the conquerors' fulfill their desire, while the opposites' fallen into a woeful state. It never was worthwhile!
Let Peace Prevail On Earth
Peace is always obtainable. It's like a air, free and for all. War is the result of mankind's mental illness: hatred, greed, selfishness and innocent; Those are what stopping us from getting peace. Thus, peace could be obtained only by man's mental development
¨Cconscience in mind, and to be harmony with his environment. The increase of number of noble human beings who do not fear to speak out against war and reject hatre, for the sake of peace and no-war-world, is a real need, for the Mother Earth and for mankind. By realizing the dangerous situation of the world today, everyone is duty-bounded to contribute something within his or her capacity to maintain, and spread, peace and harmony for all human beings to live without fear and worry. As the old saying goes, ¡° One man's work might be small but many one man could make a lot ¡± .
~ inspired from "Let Peace Prevail on Earth" by K.Sri Dhamananda.
*Here I adapt a nice phrase written by David after reading my article above:
People tremble war,
Fear the death that comes with it,
Shiver at its arrival,
World is even,
Why should one stand superior to others,
And have the right of removing their existence on this planet? |
