Someone else's war!

Are we human enough?

Maybe we are all wrong. So what if people die and thousands are killed, raped or die of hunger? Our entire human focus has always been to find a solution through war, mass killings, mass slaughters and perhaps committing the most inhuman crimes against our own species.

Imagine, we find the most amazing excuses to further our cause of killings. Under the cover of religion or national borders, we aim to nullify human existence. No other species might be killing any other species just for the sake of greed. We have unimaginable greed. Ever since we have started to form a group, a community, all we have wanted is to acquire other fertile place, attack it and kill the particular community to gain supremancy.

I sometimes feel sorry for our world today. We are a civilised world. We have gained technological ascendancy and we have conquered diseases. All that is for waste. We still don't seem to care for each other. Not any particular country or religion or region. Shame on all of us! Everywhere we see, we have wars and more wars. Every war or battle is fought on some basic premise. Our basic premise has never changed. It is sheer irrationality on our part to render any peace impossible. We never seem to be satiated. We want more land, more power and more money. And we will do anything to get it. We are willing to spread hatred, spew venom of jealousy and mass hypnotise common people to gain something.

Even in this century, we can pin-point places across the world where wars are being fought and human genocide is an common occurence. Don't get carried away if you don't read this in our newspapers daily that our world is a peaceful place to live in. Even our media has become tired of reporting the same news-wars, blood shed, terrorist attacks, etc. They have become numb to it. They have recently shifted their focus to swine-flu perhaps. Instead of focussing our attention on issues of critical importance like climate change, food supply, non-conventional energy resources, economic crisis, we are left wondering as to where the next bomb will strike and who would be the next one to be killed. Some innocent and non-existent face again.

Can we not have one World? Without any religion, any border, any race or any caste? A world where humanity is the only religion. We have enough problems anyways to deal with........


Look at some of the pictures. Most of those who die never had a chance to explain and didn't know why they died nor what they had done. Many die for no fault of their and there is where the problem lies. A soldier dies knowing what he is getting into-a womean or a child dies without a certain volition.

Whsoe War is it anyways?
