This War Torn World

     This War Torn World

     Today at 3 o’clock I checked my twitter feed, and was eye-raped by an uncountable amount of news articles containing war related material.  There were pictures of tanks in Libya, dead bodies in Gaza, and several articles about how powerful ISIS is…ISIS is?  Ha!  Try saying that 3 times fast.  Journalists are being murdered, even though documenting events in a war zone has historically been proven to be 100% safe.  With all this killing it forces me (not Ferguson police state force) to beg the question; will the violence reach an end before it forces our race to an ultimate conclusion?  A.K.A. a nuclear apocalypse.  Maybe it’s inevitable.

     Seeking world peace is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.  But what do you do when accomplishing that impossible feat is a matter of survival or extinction.  Violence can’t be totally extinguished because of greed, religion, and opposing beliefs.  Perhaps we will inevitably go the way of the dinosaurs and bell bottom pants.  That may very well be the case, but I’m a human, when I’m faced with a problem I don’t accept it, I overcome it!  So how can humanity overcome this problem?  I don’t have the answer to this undying question.  I don’t think anyone truly does.  All I’m stating is that it needs to be answered before the entire world goes into a long winter, and I’m not speaking of climate change.
