The lost earthly heaven





Author: Aya A.N.
Country: Egypt


Does it need a complete change? Because it seems for me very strange
I cannot see it very clear, although it is so near
oh human what have you done ?
You have to know that the war is not just a word that you write on poems , OR study
It is a word that means suffering to others, sadness , tears and blood
Oh my great God!

when i was young like 7 or 8 i used to think that there are evil people and good people. And good people must fight the evil ones. That was the aim of my life then i was giving myself the right to fight these evil people simply because i thought there were just evil and need to suffer.
I used to think how can we fight them? I cannot go to the streets and ask people are you evil so you should die. I felt very unable to help others.


NOW , I am thinking why people choose to be evil? And believe me they choose their way. Like in wars, people's lives are taken. Why do they choose to take a right they don't have? Is envy and hate the answer? Maybe and maybe not, well we have to admit that war is not something new at all. There were wars from old ages, but is that an excuse to continue starting them? "They started it so why don't we finish it?" Is that how they think?


I know we are so young to make these kind of decisions but we are not young to choose our way either . So let us plan for some kind of challenge, how can one make another believe that if he ever started a war in anyplace he will be that evil person who is corrupting our world. People don't make a difference in the world by starting a war! Just burry a war or help lessen it's affect and all people will see the good difference you're making.


War does not necessarily mean the kind of war in Iraq, it means any simple fight between two people or groups and believe me it starts with a simple fight and end up as a distruction.

well, I believe this is a big part of the media , and mind washing .. am sure we all got this idea from cartoons we used to watch.

Most ppl dont choose to be evil, they just have to be evil sometimes, and mostly it is our fault, and even if they are evil, why to fight them from the first place ? blood doesnt wash away blood, evil ppl need help, we can fight them with peace, even if we loose a lot .. we are helping to create a better and safer place for the ones after us.
Now i dont wanna get deeper in conspiracy stuff and the evil government !, I believe it is all our faults.

If someone hits you, ignore him, if he kills your family, stand against him, but dont kill him, show them how much good you are, dont fight them with another evil.

sucks or not, it's mine said...

Mostly when a country gets into a war with another and then they regret it and they feel like it's wrong, it's too late, because their pride wouldn't let them to say they've made a mistake.
great job Aya ;)
hoping to see more of ur articles here ;)

Issac Assimov in the foundation book says, "Violence is the last resort of the incompetent." Intelligence lies in winning a war without waging one. Pity we see almost no such case in the history of the world except for one or two stray ones here and there. But you make a very valid point here. Keep up the good work and look forward to reading more of your articles.:)
