Humans wish to have their peaceful life in the earth for thousands of years. We would do anything to get it, including killing each other and starting a war. Ironic.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary stated the meaning of Peace;
1: a state of tranquillity or quiet: as a : freedom from civil disturbance b : a state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom <a breach of the peace>
2: freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions
3: harmony in personal relations
Does war reflects the description above?
If it is for peace, then we do not get the true peace, and will never get it. People who claimed that they did this in the name of peace created fear and suffering hearts among their brothers and sisters. Yet we cannot blame them forever for what our people have to suffer; they are lost. They want peace, something that everybody wish to had, and they try to find it. Thus, some factors may closed their eyes from the wonderful truth about the way to peace; brutal environment and childhood misery for example.
Brutal environment came from the ego of our species; the ego to rule everyone else and to make us seemed as the most righteous person. As we create brutal environment, victims from this environment would do the same thing to people around him/her.
Each time a face of a terrorist is shown on the media, we would feel a deep hatred toward this person by the idea that he killed many innocent people. But have we find out what personally happened to this person? None of us really know. But once again, we can all visualize something that this person may hid from his eyes. We can never judge a book from it's cover, right?
Have any of you ever noticed that every problems our world suffer from came from a single thing called selfishness? Selfishness seemed simple, sometimes what we have in mind when thinking about selfishness is two sisters fighting over a doll, something like that. Now we have the idea that selfishness is very powerful to create bigger problems with bigger effects. All of the ironies we have in our beautiful yet cruel world came from selfishness.
So how can we get rid off selfishness?
By realize that we are all one.
It sounds simple, and you find this sentence in my previous posts, you may be bored of it! But it's true and effective.
None of us wanted to attack ourselves, right? The people around us are also a part of us. If we hurt them, we hurt ourselves. A true and simple fact that we should all know from the beginning.
I hope that we will hold our hands together from these tragedies very soon, end 'selfishness' together as one.
Namaste!~
