I stumbled upon a very disturbing article today on Yahoo! News. It was entitled "Could the U.S. Be Drawn into a New Korean War?". Every word, every sentence, every paragraph made me lose my breath. It felt as if my heart stopped beating for a moment as I was reading it.
Ever since I was a young girl, I've always wanted our world to be filled with peace and justice. Hearing about wars made me tremble not with fear but with sadness. I mean, what's the point of fighting anyway? All it does is kill, destroy, and kill even more.
Is one argument between two country leaders worth the lives of so many innocent civilians that weren't even aware that such an argument was taking place? Is personal ego worth the destruction of properties and homes that so many people have worked so hard for? I say NO! Wars are as senseless as the minds of the people who start them.
Back in the 20th century, so many people died because of these senseless wars. It was even named "A Century of War" because of the unending battles that took place. If people don't start opening their senses to what's really happening around them, many more innocent civilians will die.
We say we're so civilized compared to the people of the centuries that have long passed, but do civilized people kill? "We kill for a reason." That's what they say. But didn't God say "Thou Shall NOT Kill"? Even if they did have a reason, what would they gain because of their actions? NOTHING! Only the guilt that will forever haunt their souls.
These killings, these wars will never solve anything. They will just bring misery to everyone. If a war does end and the battle is won, one who served the army might have that feeling of joy because of their success. But in the years to come, they will realize that what they did was wrong and that their is no honor in killing one's fellow man.
Peace, justice, hope, faith, and love... those are what our world needs the most.
