THE WORLD SITTING ON TIME BOMB
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.
