"You may say I am a dreamer!"

If you wish for peace, understand war - B. H. Liddell Hart in Strategy (1967)


The news ended with the phrase, "fuel for cooking is no longer available"! What about fuel for the wishes of living? Men want to live. Extortionists want only ash. The truth seems to be, 'man is extortionist'. Probably, the first one who introduced violence to us is none other than God, by making dying as part of our living. Who knows the difference between dying and killing?

A man politically in one of the Premier positions in the world commented about Israeli invasion on Gaza, "one-way ceasefire that leads to rocket attacks on Israel is not acceptable". There are humans around us who wish an action such as this to be "two-way" but not "one-way" and are deliberately patient to define what is war. Th world has many heroes. But who exactly is a hero? Is it the killer, the dead or the survived?

Another one in relatively the same political position confirmed to the world after finding 450 people dead and more than 2000 wounded, "there is no humanitarian crisis". The comparison seems to be from the fact that the world population is about 6,602,224,175 and what we lost is only a speck. What if the comparison was made between the size of the universe and the number of humans remaining on our earth. We are trying to send a light beam to the edge of this universe and find what after the edge is, with a very little genius of a few scientists in the world. We are in shortage!

All that the human is left with is imagination.

Imagine there's no countries
Nothing to kill or die for
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace!

Why God made us amidst and along with so many options for every small part of life, like war and peace? What if man has no other option but peace?
