`I know I have been silent for a long time, and I am
sorry for that been a bit busier than normal. I just started writing for
Odyssey, so feel free to check out my articles over there. And, I am about to
start broadcasting with That Damn Radio Show. On top of that I have my normal
writing and schoolwork. So, you can see I have had to be silent for a bit while
adjusting to that schedule. Now first off no I am not joining ISIS. But, I do
have a message for them. And, it is quite simple. The violence has to stop. I
guess really that is a message for all of mankind. We have been going through a
senseless cycle of violence since the beginning of time. Trying to take
territory and be stronger than those guys over there because they are
different. That is basically what it boils down to. It doesn’t matter who threw
the first punch, it is all just senseless violence with people on both sides
losing loved ones.
And, in the end no one truly wins. Sure one side gets to
claim it wins but we are all just left burying loved ones as well as repairing
buildings and roads. We are all part of the human race and together we could do
so much better. Yes, we have differences but we also have similarities. Hate is
not part of any religion, so let it go and work on reaching out to people in
love. I have looked at every major religion and they all have some major commonalities.
They all say to take care of each other, help each other out, treat each other
with respect and dignity, even as they call for you to convert people to that
faith.
And, and they all preach against violence except in
defense. It is not time for violence it is time for talking and peacemaking. It
is not about imposing wills upon people but finding common ground. It is time
to bring the world to peace. It is time to bring the world together as one
people working together for a brighter future. Isn’t that what we all really
want? I think it is. And, yes there will be individuals that act in criminal
ways and we will have to deal with them on a case by case basis.
But, in this day and age we should not be fighting wars
still. We shouldn’t be squabbling over land. We should be traveling freely
around the world like the plants and animals do. And, yes there will be rules
in the world for human beings as there should be. But, shouldn’t we be past
this petty infighting and squabbling by now. It is time to unite as the human
raise and set our sights on the stars. Why are we still trying to kill each
other? For a little bit of dirt that we will eventually be part of. What is the
point in that? Better to live freely and good than to keep being violent. Imagine
what 7 billion people united in purpose can accomplish. But, we can’t do that
while we are all too busy fighting over whose land is who’s.
I’m not saying we are all going to get along perfectly.
Of course there will be disagreements from time to time. But, let’s talk them
out instead of killing each other senselessly. It’s time to put down the
weapons and sit down to start talking about our differences of opinion. Let’s
find common ground and bury hatchets that have been going on for far too long.
It is time to be one big community of humanity where we treat each other
civilly. Enough with the violence.
I’ll get down off my soap box now and I understand not
everyone will agree with me. But, I hope everyone can find a but of hope and
goodness to take away from my message. Feel free to leave questions and
