Wars are a consequence of geopolitical power struggle and
financial gains. The majority have nothing to do with bringing peace and happiness
to ordinary people which is always the media motive for war. Don’t go to war
hoping to gain peace in return!
If men would consider not so much where they differ, as
wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry
feeling in the world says Joseph Addison.
Everyone must not share the same opinion and everything must
not be the same- homogeneity is alien and utopic to man. Discussing differences
& compromising to come out with practical win-win solutions is what really
makes life interesting. Life is not a dichotomous black/white Yes/No, Left/Right,
Win/lose ….as conventional teaching has conditioned us to think. Life is a
spectrum with 80% of the events, people &
thinking falling within the Gaussian middle. Unfortunately, the powerful, minority
and extreme right-left 20% determine and
set the pace for the rest to follow!
Imagine a homogenous world where everyone one was to think
in the same way, had same hobby, ate same food, spoke same language, belonged
to same religion, ethnicity, and
all plants had same color…what a dull world would it have
been!
Therefore we must not simply fight, nor go to war because we
are different or think differently!
Just thinking aloud at the dawn of a New Year.
