Living in a world at peace


LIVING IN A WORLD AT PEACE
Do you really believe in such a thing as World peace?
Since the history of man has been documented, man has not found the solution for living in peace.
Man has spent millions of years preparing for war; not ever giving thought to preparing for peace, we as a species have not the remotest idea of how it would be to live in peaceful co existence.
Our little boys are trained from their most early years to be worriers, wither it be on the field of sports or for war itself, we give them toys that are designed to teach how to kill, all in the name of protecting our home land as well as protecting our precious women and children, and of course all in the name of God.
In order for man to live in peaceful co existence just stop and think of what man would have to forfeit, your ego trips would have to go, our greed and self righteous behavior would have to come to an end, our greedy corrupt ways would have to go, we would have to respect all religions, and stop using God as an excuse for killing each other, and of course we would have to bring an end to killing each other because of the color of our skin.
And last but not least our system of electing our public servants would have to come to a screeching halt, what the world has now is a pack of rich boys wanting to serve only themselves and their party’s, not to serve the people who have been brainwashed by their investment of millions of dollars, and I might add, for a job that pays peanuts in comparison to their investment just to gain the job as president.
The manufacturing of all weapons of mass destruction would have to come to an end, including all arms that we so gleefully manufacture for our great hunters, oh no, your telling me that there can be no more killing of those savage animals who are a threat to our very existence. Those wild deer who ravage our forest and drink from our contaminated rivers and lakes, no more killing of those wild ducks who live and eat our contaminated fish, who we can no longer eat, and no longer fish for fish that we can no longer eat as well.
The bottom line is no guns of any kind, this goes for our military, who if we are really living in peace will no longer be needed, our police as well will be without their weapons, nor will they be needed.       
Do you really think mankind would be able to give up all those things that we hold so precious? No way Jose.
If mankind is serious about this living in peace thing then we must start with our children, we adults are so accustomed  to living in our greedy self richest ways, that we are way beyond ever living in peace.
For our children we must remove all things that are destructive, violent video games that do nothing but teach our little boys and even some girls how to kill. They must be taught at early age to respect all, this includes those of different religions, as well as those of different color.
They must be taught that we are all created equal as human beings, and that all deserve equal respect.
Our children must be taught at different levels, our schools must be changed to educate at different intellectual levels, not by age groups, if a child shows aptitude for more advanced studies then they shall be taught at whatever level they can master.
No more manufacturing of autos that can hit 180 mph for highways that aren’t  safe for 65 mph, in fact no more autos to show off your economic level.
No more of manufacturing clothing with other people’s names, to show off that you can afford to pay 5 times more than the actual value of the clothing.
No more false advertizing, if your products can’t do what they are advertized, you are in serious trouble, large fines coupled with jail time.
Our children must be brought up by their family as well as teachers in our school system with accepting honesty, integrity, and respect, without trying to control others to your way of thinking. Your fellow man has the right to believe and to live as he or she desires.
Our children must be taught that sports are for exercise, it can’t be at today’s level that to win is a matter of life or death, they are games for exercise, you win you win, you lose you lose, it’s of little importance, to get exercise and to have fun in the process is the true value of all sports.
We have in our system of higher education a very serious flaw, for example a Professor can earn upwards of $ 80 thousand per year, at this same University the football coach can make upwards of $ 1 million, this has to be put to an end, what the hell is more important, the education of our youth or playing a game of football or basketball?
All sports are in today’s world is a diversion from reality, we find it hard to except the facts of life, but in sports we escape, we pay these athletics millions of dollars to play a game, and for most that’s all they can do, they have college degrees but some can’t even read or write, what does that tell you about what is really important in our system of higher education.
Getting back to living in peace, personally I think the best we will be able to achieve in our short life on this planet is to find peace within ourselves, and that is the rarest of rarities, to except who we are as a person, to be content with who that person is, to be able to give your love without expecting anything in return, to give of oneself to make life easier for whom ever we care about, to give aid to whoever we can whenever we are able.
They say there is magic in giving of oneself, try it give your love to whoever will except it, you’ll be surprised at just how good it can make you feel.
The most important lesson for the day is, don’t take this life to serious, life as we know it is just a joke, so have a good laugh at yourself and get on with enjoying life with those you wish to share your life with.
