War Can Be Over

Every time we looked at history we see that war is inevitable. Fighting among nations and fighting among peoples leading to total disasters. Even today we are still affected by the wars of the past, not just decades, but some are hundreds of years ago. When will the world change its perspective and forge peace? We must take everything dividing us and unite. This does not mean, we have to be one nation or people but respecting our differences and recognizing our humanity. This is what makes us common. We have to stop seeing war as the only outcome that there is no other resolution. How are we suppose to live freely with war? When one nation's liberty is more important than another nation's liberty and that is what war usually says. This world can only survive together and not separate. We must fight for peace for everybody and war is not the answer.

Refuse The Unnecessary. When we abuse the power of one, we abuse the power of all. This abuse hinders the growth and development of diplomacy. If a major power does this then in the domino effect lesser powers, who seek the major power repeat the same crime multiple times creating an inhumane crisis. Diplomacy is the reasoning for all parties discussed and choosing the best decision that satisfies all without forsaking value. Governments must have value to govern and administer justice. Corrupt governments are led by those who care little for their people and only for those who support them. And they refuse to recognize that every human being is equal and important to the stability of the government.

Peaceful Means. When we turn from making weapons to utterly destroy nations, we are saving the world and restoring order because such weapons can get into the wrong hands and even if used properly can unbalance the ecosystem of the world. The world's environment can no longer deal with war and eroding due to it. History has shown when weapons are out of control, they affected all peoples. Peaceful means are not giving into aggression but defining the peace and protecting the freedoms and rights of all. We cannot establish friendships with dictators and unstable nations. This will shake the peace in our nation and challenge the authority which keeps us consistent with justice. Above all else, we must lead with the needs of peace and not the wants of peace. We must understand that nations may want to be like more developed nations however they must aggravate grow their economy and we can use economics as a peace tool if we have fair standards in place set by the world.

Commit to United Front. The world deserves peace. Unity is greater than division. The world has to call out injustice because one nation may be biased to the truth and another nation may refuse to confess. The neighbors of that nation have a greater influence on their government and economy than far away nations. When we worked from a united front, we can maintain peace with fellowship. Nations need mediators to resolve their crises and these mediators must not take sides so they can be of used for peace.

We need to live together in peace. We have to be the generation that refuses war, which wipes out generations and who knows if they could have changed the world and made life easier if they had lived. Democracy is about ensuring tomorrow by laying the foundation for today. We cannot live in the division or discriminate anymore because the price is too great and the cost is too much. Let's work together and make this world war-less.
