Can you imagine a world without war? It is hard for me, I have been raised through a civil war of change as a result of a revolution, then an actual war...were I experienced loss of high school friends, constant sirens in the middle of the night, and nothing on TV but news of war and TV lessons in maths as we have all missed so much school...
But of course sometimes, I can imagine life without war. When I feel high and inspired, I can easily envisage this. It's not just the pacifists and the dreamers, the military can see it as well - as can all the companies that make millions of dollars from manufacturing weapons. They see it, and they worry. Where will their profits come from if nations are no longer afraid of each other?
This makes me think of someone, in my world now, who has a vested interest in keeping an argument alive? Perhaps If I want peace I must first identify the real problem...I kind of know what it is...but can't stop feeling there is more to it...I know the solution to it too...just looking for the courage of making the next move...overcoming the fear of the unknown is perhaps the main thing stopping me from moving forward...
