PEACE: THE VIOLENT WORD (2nd Oct 2009, 0045 Hrs)
Peace is all a poor common man desires to live life with true contentment… Peace is all that the greedy power hungry politicians will use to wage war against the weak to rule… Peace is what every single one of us wants and yet it has been snatched away in the name of humanity by the only means – violence! Peace is the violent word that has been exploited by powerful nations, goons, political leaders and religious heads to rule over the peace-loving affected majority. Peace leads to corruption, war, destruction and chaos all over the world and yet, a piece of peace has never been achieved in the name of peace… history says it all.
Violent, yes… Peace is a violent word contrary to its dictionary meaning. Countries have been fighting wars ever since one can remember in the name of peace…the result: millions dead, millions injured and millions will die in near future and yet, no one will ever achieve peace because of all the sufferings and miseries … the word has given birth to more violence in our lives than joy, happiness and contentment. Human intelligence could achieve many great marvels in the world ever since our pre-historic days and the modern world is enjoying every small comfort that one could never had imagined, yet peace deludes us. All the modern inventions and discoveries have failed miserably to buy us peace because of its violent nature.
Peace is the most effective tool for a political leader to control the nation by means of violence, either with muscle or gun power. Promise peace and one can see humans fighting among themselves in the name of caste, race, religion and trivial issues as they are being exploited by the politicians to serve their purposes. The surprising thing is that people, sects, groups or countries don’t even bother to use COMMON SENSE to think even for a second as to how one can really achieve peace by fighting among each other… while the politicians laugh and celebrate in their ivory towers drinking blood of innocent poor people in their bubbly champagne in crystal glasses, the poor suffer in silence and miseries.
The vicious species of politicians all around the world are so sick in their thinking that all they can think is how to exploit and fool the nation and the world by highlighting peace talks in a global scenario. One wonders, how life must be in those ivory towers… while they work all day long for peace in the world, they have to sleep in their well-guarded ivory towers with a life-long fear of, what if someone targets them…a fear that is translated in their action day-after-day by attacking various nations to show their power. The fact is that the people, who preach peace, are in fact, never in peace.
It is such a soothing feeling when all one thinks is Peace. Blissful ambience, no work pressure, nothing to worry about, happiness all around… just pure bliss… that is how many of us would describe Peace. However, it is always the opposite that succeeds when an attempt is made to steal a piece of peace. There is more chaos, unwanted thinking about various issues, no proper sleep and what not… the mind goes on and on… disturbed and always thinking about something and in many cases, thinking about trivial issues that are often not connected at all with one’s life.
Take any page from the history and you will realise how violent the word is… how many people have exploited the word for one’s supremacy to rule and exploit the world… and at what cost? Innocent lives lost and all the money that one can think of cannot even be used by the person who earns it while selling and preaching peace through violence. The outcome is omnipresent in every single part of the world. The unrest world is all seeking peace that surely looks like a mirage of an oasis in the huge desert.
Every political leader in every single country promises peace to the whole nation, yet, he fails again and again. Instead of spreading the real dictionary meaning of Peace, he wages war, uses ‘divide and rule’ policy by spreading hatred among people, try to overcome people who oppose peace by means of power, arms and violence. Yes, it is a simple case of using one’s ‘Common Sense’…sadly it is in short supply in our modern world. The reason is again very simple… because everybody is highly educated with multiple degrees and intelligent with high IQ… so each one of us fight with each other to show ‘Oh, I am better than you’ syndrome. Who are we actually fighting with? Aren’t we living in the same nation? Aren’t we the citizen of the same nation or world? Are we ever going to achieve Peace if we fight among ourselves? These are some of the very basic questions that are often not thought about while dealing with the issue.
Since the last 62 years, Pakistan has been fighting war of hatred with India for only one thing – PEACE! We were one nation before 1947 but it was Gandhi’s peace initiative that saw Jinnah heading Pakistan and Nehru leading India as two different nations. But did Gandhi’s non-violence peace treaty between Jinnah and Nehru brought Peace to both the neighbouring countries and its people? In the name of PEACE, HATRED spread like wild fire, millions were slaughtered for no fault of theirs. Every single one of them was an Indian, who was killed at the hands of another Indian. The hatred that raised its tentacles in 1947 has not subsided after the gruesome massacre because one leader chose and misled the whole world with his non-violence mask preaching Peace. The violence that was generated so they could rule the country in peace has been built on a base of millions of innocent lives, who only wished ‘Life in Peace’!
For 62 long years we have been fighting wars in search of peace between the two countries. Leaders on both the sides know pretty well, by spreading hatred and use of violence, they will be able to rule the respective countries, while fooling and misleading the citizen… with their peace initiatives. Are we such bloody fools that we don’t understand such simple logic… why should we fight if we both really want the same thing – Peace?
Now take another example of America, considered to be the Superpower… only they can decide which country needs peaceful administration and which shouldn’t… while their own country is suffering because of various catastrophes and misadventures. To bring Peace in Iraq, Bush attacked Saddam’s regime… countless dead from respective countries, lives lost, destruction, billions and billions of dollars all gone in drain and could the so-called Superpower achieve peace since the last seven years? A country who wastes its hard earned money on wars to achieve peace for other countries, why will it not go in the state of recession? After all, all the billions of dollars have not been constructive at all in any which way one can really think of… For Peace, wage war is the latest mantra of the modern world… so why it will not be a violent experience? Well, it is not a new mantra as such because ever since humans became sensible, they have always waged war to suppress the poor and the weak and all in the name of Peace.
Well, there are many examples from the ancient times to the modern era… Peace will always remain a violent word contrary to its dictionary meaning!
