We never see the world free of wars. Many of them are caused by religious differences although there might very well be other motives behind them. So...we should wish all of us humans (black, white, yellow,...) had only one religion to make the world a better place to live.
Is the above statement correct? If not, please share your ideas about why wars exist indefinitely.
I have watched a lot of cartoons and found one of them very absorbing. It was 'Simba Lion', which was starred by Timon and Humba. They both tried to find a worry-free place called "Ahumba Matata".
We have seen and heard wars caused by the diverse sacrifice to different gods or religions. In the history, Islam collided with Hindu, and so far Christianity has been confronting Islam. We have to ask a question. What's all about religion? Where did it originate? In a political science study, religion is in fact ideology that makes people become one and that enables a leader to control all the people easily toward change or catastrophe. Obviously, we have people of very different-looking appearances or nationalities. We have Asians, Africans, Americans, Europeans...and most of the time, we call these people brown, black, white, yellow and blah..blah...They are all human beings despite their skin colour. Listen to their heart and touch their hands. They are flesh. Generally speaking, Africans are believed to be inferior while Americans are believed to be superior and there are a lot of discriminatory actions against other nations, which we can't blame the religion for. Americans think that Africans are inferior because of the religion they have adopted.
However, now we are asking 'Are the diversities of religion the cause of the wars? And should we have just one religion to make the world a better and peaceful place to live in?'. Indeed, I don't care about what religion people adopt. What I care most about is whether he/she is good or evil. Thus, it doesn't matter if that person is a Buddhist, Islamist, or Christian, as long as he/she is morally good and harmless. An Islamst, a Christian, and a Buddhist can be good people as well as bad ones. Personally, I think the religions are very pure themselves. They are created to be believed in. To make people have belief in a religion is a good thing as it can make people content with life. Carl Jung, the most famous psychologist, didn't just believe in God because he knew that God does exist.
So what I am trying to argue here is 'Religion is good but there are other factors that fasify its true meaning.
Just as you can find 1000 people, you find all of them different. So do you with religion. To try to make all the religions merge into one religion is instead a hindrance rather than a remedy. There are people, for example from A to Z. If you are trying to make B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L the same as A, it is doubtless that you can never do. :)If you do, you may resort to a forceful method. Hmm, I think different religions make the world very colourful.
It's the same as when you see a lot of colours in the flowers which are compared to the world or countries.
Why do wars exist indefinitely? We have to question the whole people in the world. Do they want happiness or sadness? They will reply in unison "happiness". But why did some countries resort to wars? Today, I watched several documentaries called "THE DAY THAT SHOOK THE WORLD". What caught my eyes was 'the bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki'. The sun was shining in the morning; people looked very happy with hopeful faces during the summer. After they got out of their houses, they heard a really dull noise over their head. Look, a terribly big jet plane was flying overhead, trying to bomb the city. No life could escape. About 1,000.000 people were killed and bodies couldn't be found. Afte the blast, the whole city became dirt and dust. The motives behinds the wars, after all, come from greed and inconsideration! Has the present conflict between Islam and Christianity come from the religions itself? Naturally not! The people have made another religion look bad because they want to get benefits from it. Who are those people? Usually, ordinary people like you and me won't resort to violence when our religion is criticized. It's because only we ourselves know the value of our religion. Each person knows their own religion's value, needless to say. The history has it that every change is made by the human beings themselves. Their greed, their inconsideration, their desire, in one way, make wars occur. You will think of 'Adolf Hitler, Japanese emperor during the WWII, Pol Pot...'.
I am always wondering why there are war departments but not peace department. Doesn't each country want the latter? The world peace comes from the peace within each and every individual. Determine what you want to have in life. What does life offer you now? So peace inside you...
