“Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace but has nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give – pleasure, possessions, power – but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy”, said Dada Vaswani
Since the dawn of time, sheep have never been able to talk peace with a wolf. “The reason of the strongest is always the best,” as Lafontaine has elegantly described. Since the invention of nuclear weapons, the wolves have threatened our security. Many wolves become eager to sheep. They always look for a false pretext to invade and devour them. Ask the African people who their enemies are – their problems come from the occident. When you question people from the Caribbean or American countries, their answers are the same. There is no peace in the world because the superpowers have forgotten that we all have the right to live no matter where we are.
They should never dictate their view of democracy to a country. The meaning of democracy is not universal; it may not fit all. The superpowers do not want to achieve peace by understanding; they choose to interfere or invade. They don’t care about what is good for your country; they only look for what pleases them. War is a waste of people, money, time, and energy. We could achieve better progress for our countries, but the superpowers dictate their rules. It is time for them to understand what Herodotus said thousands of years ago, “In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.”
What gives a country the right to kill citizens of another country because of a political choice? We have seen this kind of destruction a lot in the political arena. For superpowers to be more potent, they should not use forces but diplomatic solutions.
