Extinction of World Peace

Back in 1990's, my cousins and I were Miss Universe fanatics. We would gladly wait for warm summer vacations in May where the show will be aired, clapping ours hands whenever the contestants usually ends up saying " I would like to promote World Peace" and with a brilliant megawatt smile and queenly wave, the rest of the world will wish the same too.

I am one of them.

I want World Peace. Freedom for all mankind from oppression by the hands of their own species. My mind goes back to the old world wherein the darkest villain are bread thieves. Zooming back to 2014, as soon as I open my eyes and browse the news, its all about raging disturbances and rampant killings for the sake of religious, political and bloodshed beliefs... which had millions, if not billions of innocent bystander civilian sacrificed their lives. Killings, kidnappings, bombings... name any kind of violence, you'll find it posted all over the social media. You can feel the angst of the people vibrate through the internet, people sitting in the park being attacked for no reasons at all. Elderly being raped, punched and pensions being stolen by their own grandchildren.
aftermath of human war
It made me question the quality of humanity compared to the old good days. People nowadays starts asking "Where is God in all of these?" and even some had already denounced the Almighty due to the henious act of human insanity. Yes, I call all kind of violence the "human insanity", wherein logic is not working anymore and everyone see red and hands are twitching to harm another person. I don't want to go further into details as to what types or even groups being formed to fight for this and that cause, to purge the world of sin yet committing inhumane acts of evil. To end a human life is the greatest act of sin, (yes, I know this will also branch out to different sorts of other topics).

Still...the question remains the same.

What is the point of all the killings? This question have been playing over and over my mind everytime I see another orphaned child, a grieving widow, dying parents, and all victims of so-called revenge. What revenge? I am aware people have ambitions which drive every country to rule another, as this had been going on since the beginning of time. But in the end, will they be able to realize that nobody can live beyond 150 or even 500 years nowadays? Would they rather open the minds and rear the new generation to a history of wrath and hatred among each other?

The idea of peace is starting to sink to the bottom of the earth core, burned into oblivion. It seems that the future that lies ahead is what the movies have been egging the humans to make it happen. Humans are trying to be God-like. I can feel the hatred everywhere, racism, rebellion and in the end, war is bound to happen. This time a high-profile earth destroying acts of human, the impending nuclear war. When that time comes, nobody will know what the word "peace" really means.

I am useless. I cannot call people to stop fighting and start healing each other. To begin a new era of understanding, sharing and caring. Evil attitude is ruling the world. I am hopeless. A future of war and more hatred is about to come and yet, nobody will win it. Social media, kids as young at 7 years old committing suicide due to bullying. Life is starting to lose its meaning, and start to become senseless. More suffering will follow and one day, the hand of God will strike the world to make the insanity stop forever.

When this time comes, will you be able to say that you showed your love to your partner, child, friends or relatives? When you are at the edge of your life, flashback of the past will replay in front of your eyes to review what you have done with God given's gift of life. Why cant every human being in this world just make their lives worthy of goodness for the future generation? Why cant people be kind to each other?

I don't want world peace to become extinct... would you?
