Why war is not the answer

War has been a great suffering on this planet for all of time. Why we do it, I dont really understand. Because we are such a wonderful Planet, Humanity has so much potential that we just dont see yet. But Im hoping that we will come to the realization one day, that we are in fact Humanity, one people, one race. What war does, is that it makes us think that we need to win the war to come to the solution we might think is the best. But what is actually best, is to not have the war in the first place. Because of the immense destruction of it. Communication between the parts, is what is best. To negotiate. And to find the best Peaceful solution. Just to write a bit about it, I will write about how destructive war is. It not only brings destruction to the ares of the society of its country, by tearing down homes and and killing the people that lives in the area, but it makes the population flee. To run for their lives in fact. It tears families apart. I have a song for You in fact. For You to listen to. Ill put the link at the bottom of this post.

The war between Israel and Palestine

Israel has outgrown the Palestinians during their returning to the old Palestine. But truth be told. The Palestinians dont need all that contry back. Israel needs it. But they should both parts, live in Peace with each other. Within their shared country.

Dear Palestine. Israel need to stay. They have made a Home within the country you both share. Share it. And live in Peace.

Dear Israel. Palestine has accepted You, in a time of great need. Be grateful to them. Let them have their state within The country you are sharing. And Live in Peace.

Dear Palestine and Israel. If You are teaching your young, that the other part is the enemy, which I have heard that you do, You are dividing yourselves as a country. You should live together as a people. My opinion is, that a two state country is not a bad thing. But, I would like to adress the fact, that you both then will divide yourselves from each other. What If both sides could share the whole of the country. And live together? I am not gonna be advicing for or against a two state country. I just wanted to adress it, that you are in fact dividing it, by doing that.

Now I dont know enough about this war to be going into details of the actions taken here, from either sides. All I know is, that both sides are wrong on this one thing. Keeping this war alive. No need to focus on who started it. But both sides have done wrong to the other. Both sides have done everything that they can to stop this war. A war action has only lead to another war action, and that is how the war has been kept alive so far. Start talking to each other. Communicate. And accept the other part as an equal part of your country. And by this I dont mean in area, I mean as a Culture. Live together in Peace and have Harmony in your shared country. 

No matter which side you take, both sides has done wrong here. It started many years ago, who was first I dont know. But how they live today is not the young ones faults. How they are taught are not their faults. They are not being taught to be who they could be. A person of their country, where they live in Peace with their fellow Humans of their country. Everyone is an individual, and everyone is different. But the fact is that we are all Humanity. And all though we are divided by countries, faith and many other things. We are in fact all Humans. Together on this planet. With our own Cultures, which should not only be accepted by us, but Celebrated. As a richness to learn from while we are here. 

War should end, and we as Humanity should help each other, rebuild what have been destroid.

Because what is a Culture, what is a country, without their people? 

So, if war is not the answer, what is? Communication and negotiation, having respect for the other part, and living side by side in peace. We are all an equal part of Humanity. Every human, every Culture and every country. And we should care for one another. 

There is this song, that I know of, that is about Human Kindness. Its a beautiful song. And I would want for You to listen to it. And for You to read the lyrics. Its very powerful, and has made me emotional many many times. Just take this to your Heart.

Human Kindness

by

Carrie Tree

I know that there’s more to this ugly game
I see a war designed to never be tamed
I’ve slept in the rubble amongst the shame
Screaming at the bombs
This is not in my name

I’m seeking kindness
I’m longing for safety
I’m praying for home
I’m craving compassion
Searching for sanity
Praying for home
I’ve been stripped to the bone

Home Is where we can belong
Home Is where our children grow strong
Home Is where the fire burns long
Home Is where peace can come from

I’ve traveled for months,
Ran thousands of miles
I fled the land that holds the heart of my kin
And I know you now see the torn state I’m in
I can’t tell you my name or the places I’ve been

I’m seeking kindness...

Home Is where we can belong
Home Is where our children grow strong
Home Is where the fire burns long
Home Is where peace can come from

I’m praying for human kindness
I’m praying for human kindness
I’m praying for human forgiveness
I’m praying for us to all to belong

They call me a migrant
They call me a thief
They call me a beggar man
An asylum seeker
I was once a teacher
I was once a family man
I was once a dreamer
A community leader
And I’ve seen friends and family
All scattered and broken
And we don’t know why
The cruelty keeps raging

Yes I’m seeking your kindness
I’m longing for safely
I’m praying for home
I’m craving compassion
Searching for meaning
And I feel so alone
I’ve been stripped to the bone

Home Is where we can belong
Home Is where our children grow strong
Home Is where the fire burns long
Home Is where peace can come from

Home Is where peace can come from….

This song makes me tremendousley compassionate towards the people of this world. The sentence, screaming at the bombs, this is not in my name, makes me feel for the fleeing people of this world, so immensely. Because it is not their war. Its their governments war. Their leaders. And this is how we should be viewing war. How the people of a country, are screaming, that exact sentence. Listen to this song. Read the lyrics. Have the Compassion the world needs right now. For the people. Its not our faults that our leaders are choosing war over negotiations. War over Peace. Why not just talk to each other? Everything can be solved with the right Communication. 

War is a devestating thing. And we as Humanity should know better. I have heard many rumours of how this war started. But I wont get into that. I will not pick a side here. I will only pick the side of the people suffering. Those that have nothing to do with this, those that, as written in the lyrics above, are screamimg at the bombs, how this that is happening, is not in their name. I stand with the people that wants Peace. From both sides.

There are also many other wars going on in the world. But I chose to write about this one. And whatever countries it regards, war is allways destructive. And for the people of those countries, that are fleeing, who are innocent, who has not gotten anything to do with the war  starting in the first place(And I am not talking about peaceful protesters here as someone who are starting war) I feel for them. And I Hope, and I will Pray, that all war will end peacefully. And that all of those who had to run, will find their Home somewhere. Whether its back to the land that holds the Heart of their kin(from the lyrics above), or if its a new land, where they will find themselves belonging. 

Just be open Hearted, if You know someone who have fled like that, be Kind, be Compassionate, try to Understand. Have that Unconditional Love for this being that You might know of. Because they probably need all of that, more than you can even imagine.

Thank You for reading this.

With Unconditional Love and Gratitude
