PEACE ☮

It is disheartening to know that mankind failed to learn something from the two previous world wars. No matter how we look at it, someone is trying hard to trigger WW III with all the online attacks, verbal fights, weaponed battles etc. It seems that 'PEACE' is a word which is only allowed to appear in dictionaries, and not in real life.

ONLINE ATTACKS
We very often come across news of hackers breaking into various systems to steal vital information. Some of them steal information from government systems all around the world. This shows that these hackers (of course, I am only talking about those with bad intentions, I am fully aware that there are many hackers who hack for the 'greater good') have no respect towards people's privacy. This clearly jeopardises global peace, as the attacked countries tend to point their fingers towards other countries. Everyone suspects everyone else...

VERBAL FIGHTS
This usually happens everywhere and anytime, in the bazaar, during a traffic congestion, during a tournament, you name it. But bear in mind that hurting someone with brutal words is a terrible action. People often say that the pen is mightier than the sword, well I prefer, the tongue is more lethal than the nuke. 

WEAPONED BATTLES
Hmm... you can call me a coward but I do not dare to pinpoint anyone here. But I guess you will have no trouble to understand what I am talking about. You see, in the past decade, not many countries got into war, and you get the idea...

So, why all the bleeding? Why can't someone do something about it? The answer, I think, everyone knows it already. Everyone has to play his or her part to promote peace. I know, I know, it's always easier said than done.

HEAL THE WEAL
People make mistakes. It is natural. But the important thing that decides the future is whether or not they are willing to admit and apologise for their wrongdoings. It is hard to ask for forgiveness, but to be honest, the feeling of relief that follows after that is so sweet...

ZEAL FOR LEAL
No man is an island (except if you are Robinson Crusoe, that is). To achieve peace and prosperity really requires everyone working hand in hand. Unfortunately, many people are still very self-centred. They do not deem helping people a necessary action, some even find giving other people a Judas kiss enjoyable. But what was the idiom? Do unto others as you would have they do unto you. Lend a hand to others when they need you, and you will find them to be at your side when it is your turn to ask for help. Everyone has to have the passion to uphold loyalty towards other people. Let betrayal be thrown down the deepest abyss.

SEAL THE DEAL
When all of the above are done, I would like to invite you to read the happy ending in the last chapter of humanity. I think it goes, "And mankind lived happily ever after..."
