Meeting of Minds

Hello readers

I hope this blog finds you well.

Continuing from where I left on my previous blog.

I would like to repeat, to be happy at this moment now, there are many people behind that smile, so let us all try to be thankful for this society and the people who wish for peace and prosperity of others.

The word patriot originates from French patriote, from Late Latin patriota' fellow countryman', from Greek patriōtēs

We all are definitely happy with the idea of patriotism, yes because we all love to protect the place we were born and the people in it, we enjoy the bond of belongingness to this place.

The next feeling that is coming to my mind is now the valour, the courage, the motivation and the sacrifice those heroic souls displayed and gave up their bodies to protect their motherland.

The families of these brave men are like a diamond which withstands hard blows of the pain of losing their sons and daughters and still shine brightly and continue to promote their next generations to serve and protect.

But sometimes I feel, and always this question haunts my mind, are these sacrifices worth, the bloodshed, the lives lost and the apathy?

Why can't the party men who have high power to control the future of this world not only concerning humans but also assume that they have an influence on the fate of millions of innocent animals and plants, think about the word called "Harmony".

In the following paragraphs have tried to explain why.

I would not like to use this word religion because of the era we are currently in is the media world where words like, "Jumla", "right, left and centre" is imposed on anyone or everyone who want to talk freely with no such intentions as well!

Therefore I would use the word "Dharma" or duty which the three great books of the world try to tell its readers to achieve is "follow your dharma and maintain harmony and be immersed in the thoughts of a higher power, the spirit, god or positivity as the atheists want to call it  or whatever you feel keeps this world going forward and maintain unity among mankind and promote Humanity.

In a famous movie called "JFK" which is based on the the true story of the infamous assassination of President of USA John F Kennedy and the heroic legal battle of the  D.A (District attorney) Mr Jim Garrison who contested the great president's brutal murder in a court of law to prove it was a conspiracy.

Even though all his efforts went in vain, it was a landmark move by itself that he attempted to contest against the state and was an eye-opener to the people of the United States itself.

There is a particular scene in the movie where the D.A meets a black ops agent who replies when the D.A asks "I can't believe he was killed because he wanted to change things in our time, in our age"?

The agent replies "The The organising principle of any society is war, Mr. Garrison! The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers! Yes, kings are killed politics is power nothing more! Because he (JFK) wanted to stop the moon race, ban nuclear testing and wanted to withdraw the war (the Vietnam War)".

Further continues by saying "please understand Mr. Garrison    when those orders were withdrawn there was no meaning remember no war, no money!"

Dear readers I don't feel the black ops commando exaggerated any part of his statement, I think this is the world in which we have all ended up in each country wants to compete with another in the lines of arms, blood money, superiority and so on to the extent that it can end the lives of its own leaders!

I feel these are all disabilities of the party people or the great powers of the human world who impose it on their people.

Why can't we leave the war and live?  The happy part is that currently, we are in an almost peaceful era in the whole of world history or what they call modern History! But it isn't enough we need to progress, and all the countries of the world need to work together and take it forward and try to make our dear blue planet the most peaceful place in the known universe.

“All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal.”
