As John Lennon sang it, “you may say I'm a dreamer... but I'm not the only one.”
Its a crying shame that we can only dream about it....I am curious however what exactly it will take till we can really have peace in this world. Human beings are always looking for a reason to fight. If religion isn't their reason for fighting, then its race, if race isn't the issue then we start fighting because of class. Basically we would need a world where religion isn't divisive (maybe everyone embraces Bhuddism or the Bahai faith), multiculturalism and inter-racial relationships are the order of the day, and most countries in the world have large middle classes. Then I guess the last thing to worry about would be scarce resources....no idea how we would fix that.
ReplyDeleteNow imagine the solution...
ReplyDeletein order to fix this we need to find a way of life that is all about peace , kindness to self and others, serenity, respect towards women and just all good things and then....
naturally...that religion will have to battle all the other conflicting ones !
since they(super religion) is gona say:
"oh people of earth its the religion of peace" leave everything and follow us "
(they will just get scoffed at bombed, and then have to retaliate etc...and the saga continues...)
even though now, we know for sure that there is one way better than all other ways that as stated above:
asks for peace
it pratices peace
it shows peace is says we are in peace.
so it will be a religeon of peace a religion of love and kindness to others but in order to put forward its point ALL others will first fight it naturally. (they wont come easily)
One would observe that islam came last and promoted ALL these peacefull points amoungst its folowers until the first stone was thrown and fights turned into war ...even though
if you analyse the texts its the best of all in terms of scripture, law , life , peace,spouse finance and general well beeing and of course beleif in GOD.
The wars and the mayhem are simply natural progression is a scenario(like our past)
where one true religion was introduced to a people who followed many different ways already so has to exists amoungst many aposing ones...and offend the too
so there will come a time(today) when you dont know who struck the first blow just everyone fighting...AND THEY ALL LOOK BAD
BUT THERE IS A LIGHT(truth) ANMOUNGST THE CROWD
