The world in divide


THE WORLD SITTING ON TIME BOMB
(The world in divide)

Sometimes one wonder why the world is unfair to some people in so many ways, From North to South people struggle to make a change in the falling world of man but no matter how hard one try, it just seems like all the change one strives to achieve have little or no impact in the world or the society within, yet some people never give up in their fight to make the world a better place for all.
It  seems like the world of man is fast destroying with suicide rate on the rise, unjustifiable killing, economic meltdown, depression etc-  all this happenings around make man to cry out and ask what has gone wrong with the whole world. 
One would sit and wonder why someone who grew up in a decent and great family with so much love surrounding him or her would wake up one day and decide to take his or her own life and also that of others; this is the question that often goes through one’s mind.
                                                                                   
A world meant to be home for all have suddenly turned into nightmare for many, most people have the habit of ignoring the signs around them until disaster finally hits them personally.
Imagine a happy family of 3 boys and 2 girls, all kids with their parents living an average life and suddenly mum and dad looses their job due to economic meltdown in the world, as a result this, the family looses their home and the life they once had, this have become daily experience of so many people living on the street with no one to look up to, wars and famine have now become the new world order;  it makes one wonder if this is a curse on the world of man but we often forget that all the problem surrounding us is caused by us.
When our government invades ones country for selfish political reasons, we keep silent knowing millions died and thousand more displaced.
Most of us do not want to know the dirty details surrounding our governments’ activities or action towards others, as far as we are safe and it doesn’t reach our country or affect our family. In a way, that is a cruel ideology. We often tend to feel all protected because we have a powerful government that can defend us from direct threat from any country but we fail to realize nothing last forever and that the bully may soon become the bullied.
For years children have been made orphans, mothers made childless- have we ever wonder how it feels to watch someone you love and cherish die in your arms. Imagine a young child watch his whole family massacred and all he can do is watch and cry, this will create an unforgettable experience in the child’s mind, So many bloodshed in the world that even the earth itself cries aloud on behalf of man. “this days even the evil that men do surprises the devil himself”
Many people have only heard of war or bombings but have never experienced it while some people live in a society where such have been as common as going to the market place to shop for basic needs.
Most people want to live in peace but little have solution for creating a peaceful environment, we fail to realize that the world is suffering so much, not because the “evil ones are much in number; it is because of the silence good ones among us”.
                                                                                       
The world of man is slowly turning into a place where safety cannot be guaranteed in any part of the world, whenever one walks on the road; one Is  uncertain about what awaits him or her, someone might decide to go on a random shooting rampage killing innocent people going about their daily lives.
The earlier we as an individual start to realize how urgent it is for us to make a change the little way we can, the better it is for all.
Most of us from a violent prone country cherish our country just like many people around the world cherish there’s, but for ordinary people in such country prone to violence, all they can do is pray and hope that someday just someday they might finally have the country of their dream, a country for all, free from violence and injustice and where human beings are valued and cared for.
People worldwide are tired of having a bad leader, it makes them resort to pick up arms or protesting against their government, this is a typical example of the present happenings in the Middle East and North Africa.
One may begin to wonder why any sensible leader would decide to kill its people, all in the name of retaining power over them.
Most of the evil leaders all over the world are fast to forget that they are just human like any other person who can die or fall sick at anytime, they feel invisible but history have thought us otherwise just like in the case of Adolf Hitler who killed millions of innocent people or Gaddafi who fought and killed his people to stay in power, at the end we realize that violence never solves anything, it only makes things worse.
Picking up arms against ones leader only lead to more bloodshed and will forever live the country in turmoil just like picking up arms against Gaddafi of Libya only made Libya worse and more prone to instability.
We must always have in mind that no country that violently over throw their government will easily have a lasting peace because in the end, the leader will always have people loyal and ready to die for him or her, history continues to show this but why do many people fail to see this?
In the name of power- women and children are massacred day and night but in the end, we all die at some point, such is the power of time and death on our world.
The best thing we can do is to hope and pray that someday the leader will realize his or her mistake and make a change.
We are desperate for power and riches that we can do anything to have it, yet we forget that no matter how rich or powerful one may be, it only ends the moment we are “put in the grave”.
There is much intolerance in the world of man, a black man do not want to live under the leadership of a Whiteman, a Pakistani do not want to be ruled by an Indian, a Christian do not want to be ruled by Muslims and vice versa, this often leads to war and dividing of countries leading to each tribe or religious group ruling over their people separately.
As human, one of the things that make us unique is the ability of accepting other people no matter their religion, tribe or cultural values.
                                                                                 
In the past, different groups have split from a particular country, just like Korea splitting into North and south, Sudan splitting into North and South but after all this, we realize that learning to live together as one is far better than the war fought before separating because in the end there will always be tension among the separated group just like in the case of North and South Korea and also Sudan.
Sometimes the decision of separating might not be the idea of the ordinary citizens but those of the powerful people in the society inciting war and hate- if war breaks out during the process, the such powerful people run into another country living luxurious life while millions die in their country, at the end of the war they return as hero and still hold political position at the expense of the peoples live.
It is surprising how people can easily be lead into an all out war  and deceit with their fellow country people but in reality it is easy to be deceived into war once we have hatred among each other.
Hate is and has always been a strong abstract feeling that pushes man to do things he always end up regretting and most times it becomes hard to turn the wrong right once the evil deed has been done.
