For thousands of years mankind has been at wars.
After the second world war, mankind should have learned the truth
about wars, that is there is no victor.
So whether a war is started by the need for national or economic
security, greed or ambition, the second world war conclusively
proved one truth - the world is too small to be engaged in
conflict. It will be destroyed as witnessed by the release of the
first atomic bomb on hundreds of thousands of innocent people in
Nagasaki.
But men are as obsessed today as ever with their own
self-importance that they must prove something superior about
themselves and not see the futility of wars.
The Japanese people and their leaders are still far from remorseful
about their own "Asian Co-prosperity" war. They try to justify
their last war as a war of self-defence.
Now earth warming, ecological pollution and depletion of oil and
other natural resources are further bad news that the small earth
we live in has only a limited life and even without war mankind has
not many good years ahead to live for.
So now let us examine and re-examine what the almighty want of us
in this earthly life of ours. Did he really ask people to fight it
out or engage in conquering others or our neighbours?
One would have thought from reading of bible or koran that the
clear god message : "Love thy neighbours" even if god at the same
time has said other things like "Do not sin".
Do denizens of the world have a higher or more noble reason to
disagree with such basic wisdom. If they do then they have to tell
us whether god was wrong about the first advice.
If they treasure and trust their own almighty whoever he might be,
surely they will be more patient with their neighbours even if they
don't love them.
Let us all declare as "World Peace Day" the anniversary of second
world war and tell the Israelis and Palestinians on this day there
is no purpose to fight on but there is god's purpose to live in
love and not hatred.
