War No More - II

WAR NO MORE - II

"I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war." - Albert Einstein

These days, the human world seems to balance itself like a blindfolded acrobat walking a tight rope spanning an abyss. Peace will calmly carry humanity across the chasm, whilst war will inevitably plunge humanity into the dark depths descending directly beneath its tread.

Every step we take we must keep peace in mind, every move we make we must embrace peace with our hearts, as an infinitesimal act of forsaking our commitment to peace could plummet us into oblivion, accelerating towards self-destruction. However, destroying ourselves will not destroy our home, Planet Earth. Therefore, instead of losing our mind on the idea of Saving The Planet, let us start by focusing on Saving Our Self.

"It's time to stop pointing fingers
and figure out the point."
- Bro Nevo, 2012

This land is not mine. This land is not ours. We do not own land. If anything, the land owns us, as humanity represents a mere part of Earth, one of numerous parts of a whole.

The very existence of nations actually creates nationalism. The drawing of lines on a map, the division of the One Tribe into a wide variety of people, enables opposition in order to eternalize the ancient Roman motto: divide et impera - divide and rule.

One - not just one of us but one of all
- must ask oneself the following:
who would stand to gain,
or rather: Cui Bono?
