War Is Not An Answer

"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no causes that I am prepared to kill for"

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi


I don't understand what is going on in the Middle East right now. What is Israel seeking? Why do people choose war as a solution to their problems? Human life is treated as worthless in war, without any value. If you meet your enemy, then kill them. It’s just as simple as that.

Don’t they understand that we come from the same origin? We all are brothers and sisters. We have the same blood, though we come from different races, cultures, and religions. Humans create all the differences, while to the almighty God, we all are equal.

So why can't we live together in peace, side by side, helping each other? Live in peace and harmony.

Please stop the war because war is not the answer to any problem. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. You aren’t going to achieve anything through war and violence. Always use love and compassion when handling everything.

The earth is crying when it sees us killing each other. Can you hear it?


"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?"

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
