Do you want a war?

The news plastered it everywhere. India and Pakistan is in a soup. Everyone formed their opinions on the matter and got drunk on fear.

What if a war really does breakout?

War is a reality, unfortunately, for many of the people around the world. It's their normal routine. It's their "same old story"....day in and day out.

I don't want to live in the uncertainty of whether or not a war will begin and kill everyone including me. And I don't want anyone to live in such uncertainty.

Some people who may never see the effects of war may think it's just a game... "Blow them up, who cares? We're stronger, right?"

Wrong, it's being cowardly. Only a coward will hide in their comfort while young innocents waste their life killing other young innocents for the sake of showing who's the boss. Cowards hide behind a gun many a times.

It's so stupid. Yet some people around wanted war.
They wanted death. They wanted revenge. All for what?
For nothing.

There has been countless number of art forms and literature created to just show how foolish people are when they advocate for war and blood shed. But people aren't convinced.

How many more lives are to go down this path before we realize the value of human life? How many?

War makes things worse and it just doesn't create the atmosphere to love each other...no, not at all.

It's just one of the extreme effects of the "Us v/s Them" mentality.

I dream of the day, we all come together and put our guns and bombs down into a ditch and bury it forever. Life can be lived in harmony, even with people you disagree with. All that is necessary is respect.....mutual respect and a desire to understand.
