WAR AND PEACE

What's the world has come to? Israel-Palestine, India-Pakistan, US-Iraq, North Korea - South Korea. Why can't we learn to live in peace and harmony? "Imagine all the people living in one world - Imagine" - John Lennon's utopic vision lingers in the mind. Especially it is hard to imagine one brother killing another, bombing civilizations, filling young child's lung with poisonous gas and using threat-matrix as an alibi. Who are the actual terrorists? And Who are the civilians? It reminds me that last scene from "One Man Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" where Jack Nicholson broke the glass window separating the wall between the civilized world and the insanity.

Is War the solution to all problems? Is threat the way to cope with your enemies? Look inside yourself and you will realize that threat gives birth to more threat, war gives birth to war, and killing innocents will give birth to more terrorists. It does not matter who the other side is - Indians, Americans, French, German, Koreans, Jews, Palestines - It's all the same. Don't we understand that the only bond which ties us together is Humanity?

Who have created all these barriers? Who have created nations? Who have created the boundaries separating us? - We ourselves, but on what basis ? Who gave us the right to stop one human being from crossing into another? We have the right to go to any place any time - it's our birthright? It does not matter which language we speak, what we eat or what our facial contour is.. We are human beings and it is our god given right to go to any place in this universe. It is our right to remove all barriers that separate us. Bring down the Wall - "Winds of Change" , Candlelight, Scorpions and Brotherhood.

Think about it. A lion in the wilderness with his own pride. He leaves peacefully in his territory - hunts and reproduces. He has plenty of food and plenty of cool shade. When would he go and attack his neighbor pride? - If he does not have any food or his pride has been destroyed or there is a deadly famine in his region. He won't go and kill lions from his neighbor pride unless he needs to do so. Even the animals are better than human beings - We are the only creatures going against Darwin's "Law of Evolution - Survival of the fittest" We are the abhorrent, insane maniacs......
