the irrationality of humankind...
Humans have always been strange creatures. We are capable of provoking a silly thing. Imagine a world without racism and religion. We can still find fault with one another for a silly reason. Question is why are we like that? Is there a world where such things will never happen? Are we capable of living in harmony? I guess not. Though this post might be short, but the question still remains. Will we really be able to achieve world peace?

War and Peace...
Recently, I've been going through some videos on youtube calming my mind until I came across a video of Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker trailer. And within the trailer, I just realized that there are countries without an army. For example, Costa Rica's Article 12 of their constitution abolishes the military forces ending the military spirit in the country. The abolishing of the military happened 1 year after the Costa Rican civil war which resulted with the overthrowing of their government. Ever since, Costa Rica has never went into civil war despite their neighbors do.
Today, their supposed military budget is focused on security, education and culture. This resulted in a peaceful nation which remains neutral in it's stance. From this nation, I've had came to realize. Why do we even need soldiers? Why do we fight? Is it necessary? If every nation in the world lay down their weapons and trade in for tool to build. Instead of tools of murder and despair, humans should rethink that war is the unnecessary method. Why on earth do we listen to our selfish leaders? Who decided that war is the only matter to gain what they want. Foolish leaders, because of your greed, you have caused young men and women to die. Fighting for an ideology, is it even important?
Militants world wide, especially religious extremists and radicals, think back! Would your religion approve of murder of innocent civilians? How about the murder of many women and children? These people have nothing but each other and their will to survive. Why do we fight? Humans are humans. Race and religion is not anything worth fighting for. Why do we have to separate people by groups. Why do we even identify each other in different races? Why not calling each of us as humans and humans alone. What is the difference? Africans, Caucasians, Arabs, Indians, Asians and other races, we are humans. Humanity has no need to fight to show who's different. Soldiers, lay down your weapons. Politicians, think of other ways to solve a conflict. The world needs to stop thinking each other as a different race but humans.
Laying down their weapons in trade for tools to educate, to build, to help is what every nation should do. Give the weapons to guards and police. Why do we even need to buy tanks and create more guns to kill? Leave the battlefield, join the people around to create a happy world. Without an army, there would be no reason to fight. Without an army, politicians would not interfere with other nations' internal affairs. Lay down your weapons and start to think again.
