WWIII or World Peace? Neither.
The Syrian refugee crisis. Missile testings in North Korea. Filipino president vows to kill all drug lords and users. The Venezuelan Crisis. ISIS. The MOAB being released.
All sounds quite scary when it put together. Those are some of the major crises that are currently happening in the world. Many would say that we are nearing World War III. Every day people are dying, starving, fleeing, and protesting. When you turn on the TV seems that the world is going to end. Too many problems, no cooperation, no solutions. Can this end in a peaceful or even positive way? Will the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty be ignored? Will it be the end of us? There are so many negative outcomes that all point towards WWIII. Nevertheless, I believe that this can be avoided. Sure, call me a dreamer or a delusional optimist. I will still be confident that the human legacy is not one of death, but of hope. It is true; there is no such thing as complete world peace in the horizon. This does not mean it will never happen.
They way for humans to avoid war is to listen. It's that simple. Seems hard to believe, I know. Something that we were taught as children can be the solutions to all our problems. By hearing out the opinions of others and not instantly judging them, a solution can come out of it. Leaders of the world, who hold power to destroy and rebuild, must cooperate. There are bigger issues at stake. The actual planet we stand on is dying. Our only home is crippling. If we continue to ignore and think that screaming louder than the others will get things done, then doomsday is closer than we thought. By starting small, in our communities, we can push towards change. We can push towards listening. Someday, the momentum will be so large that we may see peace in the future. For now, we listen and wait for that day to come.
