Wars, an invention of the Human mind have had the most devastating impact like none other in the history of Man Kind. In the last 3000 years of our civilization there had been only 250 years of recorded peace. The reasons rationalized for playing the game of war has been multitude. Ambition, Wealth, Power, Stealth, Race, Religion, Freedom the list will go on, on and on. It's is said about War that - It all starts in the mind. If it is so then it can only end with the Human mind. It is an idea, It is a cause, It is an effect, It is a thought which ultimately fructifies as an action in the end. The real impact of it is only faced by people who go on to live beyond the War, whether they are victors or victims plagued by it. War has the capacity to annihilate not only the physical elements but also the psycho-social fabric of the society. It feeds on human fear like a scavenger which eats the carcass. What has been more dangerous than the weapons which were created and used to forge wars is the Human will to continue it. Wars also provide the fertile ground for understanding Human suffering and Peace, but the lessons are costly ones. There is only one anti-dote which can cure us from the thirst of waging wars and that is Love. But it can only happen when we look at love as an opportunity of accepting the diversity within us. Failure to understand this leads us to massive fear to sustain wars. We need to appreciate the differences and celebrate the diversity which gives us the direction to find and locate everlasting camaraderie and happiness.
