When I see pictures of small boys in the middle east (like 8 and 10 years old) gleefully carrying weapons, it makes me weep for the future of this world. There’s no chance a kid who feels weapons are his only chance of retribution is going to grow up not to want to kill other people.
War is indeed a travesty, no matter who is fueling it. I hope this mindless conflict gets tamped down soon, and the world can try to move on from it.
Yes, I was thinking the same that war won’t happen again in Europe that we as humanity have evolved sufficiently to realise that violence is never the answer, but reality has proved me wrong.
I really liked what Jordan’s deputy prime Minister has said:
“Violence will only make things worse,“ he added. “The amount of hatred that will come out of this amount of misery will not lead to peace.”
War never leads to peace, only to continual retaliation. The old saying “to have peace you must prepare for war” speaks of an ill mentality that believes arming people with weapons will somehow cause peace to break out. The opposite is true. Nobody amasses weapons with the intent to simply use them as decorative household items. To have peace, you must prepare for peace. Which means you don’t worship death, you don’t nurture hatred, you don’t hoard weapons, and you don’t harbor resentments without seeking mental help for it.

It’s happening in Europe as we speak.
I know, that’s why I said it.
There was war in Europe in the 90s as well.
There was almost some violence recently in Kosovo. Basically the EU told Serbia to knock it off. There’s a real war going on.
