Light of Peace

This world is full of diversity, both in nature and man-made phenomena. We love diversity in nature. That’s the reason we go out on tours and site-seeing. Have we ever showed our distress over different landscapes, climatic conditions, colors of plants and flowers? Not at all. We are equally fascinated by the towering heights of Alps Mountains and vast stretches of Sahara desert. We equally enjoy the tropical forests of Amazon delta and freezing glaciers of Arctic Circle. We may also quest for different cultural dresses and dances (for making pictures and videos at least). .But when it comes to differences in political thoughts, religious beliefs, race, language etc, we tend to lose our patience. We confront, we fight and we create enmities on the basis of these dissimilarities. We lack tolerance and find it difficult to accommodate strange viewpoints and beliefs.

Just look at the world from a bird’s eye view. You will notice a very colorful abode of humanity. A population of billions with different colors, shapes, dresses, dwellings, eating a variety of food, worshipping different deities, celebrating festivals in various manners. singing different melodies and discussing topics with varied viewpoints. I can bet that any aliens coming to our planet from a distant galaxy will like all this. Then why the humans, the permanent inhabitants of this planet, cannot enjoy all this? Why are they so skeptic and intolerant towards one another?

Ask these questions and try to find out answers, for the sake of world peace.
