The world as a whole has many problems as we all know. We have climate changes, we have weather upheavals, we have hunger, homelessness, and illnesses. So why do people, tend to try to kill each other, when life is far too short in the first place? Good question, would be the answer I would expect from most.
Sadly, humanity is the only species on the planet that continues to kill themselves off, and not think twice of it. We have killings, murders, wars, and more, and it proves or gets no one any where does it? In the Middle East, countries put up barriers between one another and fight for land still in the modern world. I believe the fighting should end and the people doing the fighting should realize they are really all members of the same family of people. Sadly, this won’t occur in my lifetime, but I think they should begin to look at it in that light at least.
Historically speaking and factually speaking, too many nationalities actually do come from the same backgrounds and places in history and cultures. But no one wants to admit this and it becomes a great issue to fight wars about. Very sad indeed. Violence as one man said, only begets Violence and it goes on perpetually, until one half either dies off or the other is killed off.
Wars have been fought since the beginning of the world and will always more than likely be with us. But the reasons to fight wars, we should look more closely at and eliminate. Sadly that will never be done either, because mankind in general lets emotions rule them not intelligence.
Next subject, in my life and family, separations exist between siblings because of past acts and animosities. We fight over who was right as a parent, who was right or to blame for what when wrong when. Who ignored whom, who wasn’t there to help who when needed and much, much more. I think all families do this, it is a matter of degree and how far one can keep it going that matters in life. I am now 55 going on 56 years old, I have now out lived my real father’s age, and I am closing in on the age of the death of my mother and my step-father who raised me. Yet, animosities, anger, fighting and brutal separations between siblings still exists. I don’t think it will ever disappear or be handled and straightened out by any of us. I think it is so ingrained in us from childhood and since, that it has become an internal part of who each of us are. Is it the same for all families I don’t know, but I do know after so many years of it, we don’t change our ways.
Not too long ago, I ran across a nephew actually I did not know I had. He lives in the south and I came across him on the Internet. He wanted more information on his father, my younger half-brother. I thought about it for a bit before I gave him information and tried to help him learn of his family. I think it made him happy to be included by me, and those of us open enough in my family to accept him. I think, no matter where you may be, no matter who you may be, no matter what your situation or status in life, you always will need a family base from which to start from and everyone wants to know, who their parents are and from which they come and they have that right. So I help where I can and it is all I do.
