I Had A Discussion... War Or Peace
So I was having a discussion with a good friend of mine.We started talking about peace.What it would take to really achieve it.She started going on about governments and political well being and whatnot.Here is my opinion.
To reach a state of "true" peace,a huge sacrifice would have to be made by every single person on this planet.What will you give for it?The standard answer and most used is I would gladly give my life so my children can know peace.That is bull****.Giving your life,or rather the willingness to accept death over victory,is a defeat in itself.What would you REALLY give?Not hypothetically,but if you were asked tomorrow to choose,would you be able to?Would you really WANT to?
Here is my question:Would you denounce your heritage,your "citizenship" your "labels"?Instead of being an American,or an African,or an Asian,would you be able to,in the name of peace,drop those labels,step back from that mentality,that pre programmed hate instilled into us from birth,and just be human?
It's a yes or no question,no debate,you must choose,would you be ables to?
I am not going to lie,I lack the strength,and mental capacity,to imagine a world removed of such hate that is so rampant.To really SEE,we would first have to be blind.No color,no shapes,nothing,just peace.
Thoughts?
