5/13/22 The Tragedy of War. We Have A Choice. Why Do Humans Choose War? Moving Poems From Ukraine War Poetry in Ukraine: Serhiy Zhadan and Lyuba Yakimchuk
There are two sides to everything. Somethings like night and day we can't change although electricity has allowed our nights to be brighter. When we have a choice we often choose that which makes our life better. War in human terms does not make life better for anyone except perhaps governments or certain businesses ( war it is said helps economies).
When you see the destruction in Ukraine and all around the world you wonder what have we as a human collective done to this glorious planet and to ourselves and each other. Who in their right mind would choose suffering over peace for all? Who could defend bombing magnificent museums, defenseless civilians, children, relics, hospitals, peoples' homes and innocent animals? It really seems to come down to what you believe, have been taught or experienced in your life.
Isn't it time collectively to stop wars? Don't you want that? Don't you want to experience the earth being free of man made pollution, new ways to provide food and freedom for those struggling, new forms of governments that promote freedoms and resources for all? Don't you want to experience higher states of inner peace and happiness, live up to your potential? See your families prosper?
Lets stop the suffering.
Remember beyond nationality and race we are the same. Maya Angelou said
“We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.”
