The World We Live In

The world we live in is one that is being ravaged by war, hunger, disease and corruption. Humanity is in a fragile state of mind. Though we may be human, we are not humane to one another.

You’d think that after going through so much together, having faced many a struggle and their consequences as well as our evolution, we would have learned to love one another by now.

But that is clearly not the case.

We wanted order but instead we created disharmony. We allowed ourselves to be segregated by religion, identified by the colour of our skin and separated by the people we love. We fought wars in the name of peace, but was that ever the intention?

We fight not in the name of justice, but to prove that we are the ones who are right.

Were we not born to live and love? If you believe that we are, how can we keep living a life devoid of love? How can we stand by as our brothers and sisters get destroyed by those savages who are less than human. Why do we nitpick who gets to live and who gets to die? Who are we to decide whether or not that person deserves the hatred coming their way? What are we doing restricting our love and our forgiveness to individuals who we believe share our ideals?

We build borders in the name of protection, but really that’s just an excuse for our ignorance. How can we learn when we isolate ourselves? We arm ourselves with weapons in the name of defence, but really that’s just an excuse to condone the destruction of one another.

How can we live in peace when we constantly instigate violence?
