A New War

A different war should be won…there is this war that is entirely good and can save as many lives - a war against the disturbing realities that prevent us from living harmoniously and peacefully as human beings. (photo: liberalforum.org)

A new war should be won. A new perception should explode like the nuclear bombs we always talk about. We have heard the statement that war is never good no matter how reasonable it is. Seeing hundreds or thousands of people dying of war is never good no matter how valid such a war is. But there is this war that is entirely good and can save as many lives - a war against the disturbing realities that prevent us from living harmoniously and peacefully as human beings.

War on Race Discrimination

No skin color is ever superior to another. Racial or Color discrimination still exists in the United States today and in many other countries. Many lives have died of violence caused by racist ideas, principles, and statements. Needless to say, many hopes and dreams too have died of the same. Racism or any form of human discrimination certainly is an intangible weapon of mass destruction. This is the other war that we continue to ignore as we stick to the things that we touch and see.

War on Religious Discrimination

The best thing that a religion can have is respect to the other faiths. A relationship to a mystical or supernatural being is an extremely personal thing and should be highly regarded. The basic premise of a religion is to make the self and others better. Thus a religion that destroys does not have a place in this world. At times people who belong to a religion do awful things in the name of their faith, but we should just count them out and never judge the religion itself.

War on Hunger for Power

Everybody knows that everything here is fleeting. Bonaparte, Hitler, Alexander the Great, and many others only seemed invincible but they couldn’t last. Like most of us, they lived the average life span and only witnessed the futility of their will. In the end, the more powerful a person is, the more difficult it is for him/her to accept the powerlessness of dying.
