Everyone acts according to their own sense of justice.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s right and wrong isn\u2019t always clear. Is it?<\/p>\n
War is a cycle of hate. How did it start? It doesn\u2019t even matter. It could have been an accident. It could have been a difference between people\u2019s beliefs. But I\u2019m pretty sure that if a man stabbed your child in the chest, you are going to either stab him back, or if you\u2019re weaponless, beat him until you no longer have strength in your body.<\/p>\n
How\u2019s the murder\u2019s wife going to feel now that you\u2019ve murdered her husband?<\/p>\n
We all have our own opinions, values, beliefs. But some things are obviously wrong. For example, stealing. Don\u2019t take things that don\u2019t belong to you. But what if you\u2019re starving, about to die? People steal food. Is that right? No. How do we solve that problem? <\/p>\n
Well, people should give food, money, and goods to a starving homeless person. But we don\u2019t, usually. Why not? Well, we might feel that since we work so hard, we should keep what we earn. They\u2019re not working for it! Or maybe we barely have enough for ourselves. Or maybe we\u2019re just selfish. But what if everyone gave a little bit? We could take care of everyone if everyone cooperated. <\/p>\n
So why don\u2019t we?<\/p>\n
The answer: because we are human, and many of characteristics and emotions prevent us. We are battling our human nature every day.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why society has rules, which put social pressure on people to do the \u2018right\u2019 thing. Interestingly, we can notice different social values and different kinds of pressure in many different cultures.<\/p>\n
So how do we break the cycle of hate and bring peace to the world?<\/p>\n
We must try and understand each other. We must remember that love and life and the most important things.<\/p>\n
Take abortion. Some people say, \u201cOh, you\u2019re killing a baby!\u201d and some people say, \u201cIt\u2019s not a baby yet.\u201d What if the spinal cells from an embryo can cure a 10-year-old child\u2019s fatal disease? The mother agrees to a procedure, but other people say, \u201cOh you are a murderer!\u201d and attack the doctor. See, everyone has their own values, and their own perspectives. <\/p>\n
We MUST NOT force our values onto other people. But we do. Why? Because we are human. Christians preached love and forgiveness, and then went on a Crusade. Why?<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019m not saying you have to ACCEPT other people\u2019s beliefs. You don\u2019t have to agree that abortion is wrong or alright. You don\u2019t have to start worshiping one god, or stop. <\/p>\n
Just TRY to understand. Try to understand and try and live next to your fellow man. Just remember, the purpose of life is to love and to learn. Well, that\u2019s what I think, anyway. Maybe you think differently. And that is okay.
\nEveryone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs. That’s really important. <\/p>\n
Nobody wants to do evil things. That\u2019s against human nature. I\u2019m sure Hitler didn\u2019t say, \u201cI\u2019m going to exterminate the Jews because I\u2019m an evil bastard.\u201d He had his own sense of justice and his own ideals.<\/p>\n
So Bin Laden is dead. People are rejoicing. Why exactly are you happy? Think about it very hard. <\/p>\n
I wish people would celebrate the end to the threat of violence, rather than celebrate the death of a man. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
