I have just realized, that as John Lennon has said, we have never given peace a chance.
I can't believe that we keep killing each other so mercilessly. I can't believe that we still volunteer to serve in the army, to kill and be killed according to somebody's orders. I can't believe that students sell themselves to the army for tuition money.
I believe that we, as a people, need to show other nations that we respect them, that we tolerate their chosen way of life, and that we are not interested in fighting wars. We need to be satisfied with what we have and protest our government's attempts to attack and conquer other nations.
Violence is not easily forgotten and almost always leads to revenge and retaliation. In this way, violence is a cycle that, once started, is almost impossible to stop.
The news of the war in the media has not given us an accurate picture of what war is. Regardless of race, skin color, geographical location, or religion, all human beings are the same. We all suffer in the same way, love the ones close to us, and shed the same tears.
