I wake up early morning to see the sunlight shimmering through my windows and the sound of birds chirping outside. With the first drag of my cigarette, I stand on my balcony to look down at people taking their dogs for a walk, others walking with their better half. A couple of kids running around waiting for their school bus and their parents teaching them to behave properly. I look at all these and smile.
I wonder, what a beautiful world it is indeed. We have come such a long way. I mean can you imagine what a barbaric life our ancestors lived hundreds and thousands of years ago? I am glad I live so peacefully. All thanks to the right education, globalization, and tolerance which we have learnt over time. Most importantly, HUMANITY exists in all of us now.
We live in a world filled with love, peace, and harmony.
For all those who are satisfied with how I feel, let me cite you some examples as well.
India,
The Bru tribes were originally inhabitants of Mizoram but then due to some conflicts, the Mizo tribed people raped and killed so many of Bru people that they were forced to run away from their homes and settle in Tripura.
Almost the whole of Northeast India is placed under the rule of AFSPA which gives the army the power to arrest or even kill anyone just on the basis of a doubt of their involvement in an insurgent movement without any impunity. The army has also been charged with rape and killing of several innocent people. Wonder if it's true.
The Naxal which has spread across central India reaching several parts of South India became what they are for a reason. And don't get me started on the Kashmiris.
But it's okay, it's a peaceful world out there!
Central Asia,
Have you ever heard of fights between the US-backed Kurds and ISIS in Syria?
Or the recent war that Turkey waged against the Kurds?
Or stories of thousands of people dying in Yemen because of the conflict between Houthis and their government? Or in better words the proxy war between Iraq and Southi Arabia?
The conflicts between Shia and the Sunni Muslims?
The age-old war in Afghanistan between the Talibaan and their government?
The issues of Balochistan in Pakistan (South Asia)?
And there are many more stories like these. If you haven't heard it's no big deal. Just a few thousands of people dying everywhere.
But who cares? It's a peaceful world out there!
China,
They seem to be doing well right? They have prospered so much economically. They have so much money. I just wonder why the Uighur Muslims who are a minority over there feel they are being massacred. So lame! Similarly, can you believe the people of Hong Kong? Who even fights for democracy in the 21st century?
I know! It's a peaceful world out there!
Africa,
Apparently even they have many terrorist organizations like Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda and many more. It's quite intriguing to think about how these organizations are spreading peace in their respective countries. Apart from that, we all have seen news about Arab spring over the past decade. Seriously why can't these people sit back in their home on a comfortable sofa and enjoy their beer or pizza while watching such funny news on TV and laugh about it like us?
Can you believe they actually die out of hunger, malnutrition, poverty, the diseases never heard of, fights against terrorism, governments, and god knows what else?
Who is ever going to tell these people to worry about real issues like how to make money and not such petty things in life!
I can go with many more examples from America and Europe and Russia as well but I hope you got the gist!
I'm glad we don't live like barbarians anymore! We are modern people with modern lifestyle!
I repeat again "We live in the 21st century and it's a peaceful world out there!"
