Faltering Waves?

"Lands curling back into the palm of their Creator.
They retreat but don't give up.

Fulmination. Is that the new answer?
People and animals alike.

Death and carnage.
It isn't of our volition. "


Well, just to clarify this verse is NOT about the environment.

After hearing about the tragedy that took place at Virginia Tech University, it made me think a lot. About the crisis our world will go through. It's the year 2007. The initial stages of the crisis have begun. So what can we do about it? Sit and watch as we destroy ourselves? I mean that does seem like the only option, doesn't it?

Wait for World War Three to erupt.
Wait for more terrorist attacks and bombings.
Wait for more innocent people like students to die.

Not really. It's not too late.

The answer is peace. I think we all figured that out a long time ago.

There will be a time when the world will rise in protest. Very soon in fact. Instead of there being 50-100 peace organisations per city, there will be a ONE gathering.
It has already begun in the USA with the people protesting as ONE against the American troops not being withdrawn from Iraq.
Instead of waiting around for our own demolition, we will rise up against the bombings, the shoot-outs, the unnecessary wars (and the so-called necessary ones). Against our very own selves (in a way). Except we will not let History repeat itself. We won't lose something that we have always forsaken. Our unity, our togetherness. One cause, one motive, one reason, one want. Just one. Instead of 100,000,000 groups of people fighting for the same thing - One mass of people.

It has begun. It will grow. It will be successful. It's time to revive what we once had.

It's finally sinking in.

Helo!

Long time no see =.) i just had to comment on this one...

well you are talking about peace within the world, why don't we talk about peace within ourselves first? Why don't we talk about bing one with ourselves first?

once we realize the smaller picture, the bigger one won't be tough to figure out....

There Is and always Will be a good and bad, and unity alone will not stand against the power of bad....we have to firstly look at self-change, then look at our piers, and perhaps help them to change.

Anyway, i did like the post, just thought it was cliche....but then again its the truth...

Love

PEERS!!!
What's wrong with you:S?

Lol, anyway I don't believe in the world cliche. If talking about peace is a cliche, then I guess I'm a walking talking cliche myself:D!

Hehe. Thanks though:)!

And welcome back from your hibernation *hmph*.

There has always been one hope... one vision, and that was peace. But that was just a possibility, the hope... there are some people who just won't listen, and you know we can't do anything to stop them. We can protest, but they can harm. And I don't know... I guess we'll have to just have Faith, and pray for the twisted, because then maybe they'll find a better solution to revenge, or whatever it is they kill for.

To become one everyone needs to find peace within themselves as mini said.... u cant expect peace in this world without being at paece with urself. We can pray for the "twisted" people but trying to help them find peace within themselves would be better.... that wouldnt be just sitting back and not doing anything nor would it harm.
A nice post...a very very debatable topic....we should talk in class when ur not involved with ur stupid play :P

Well, actually we were walking around during In Flames because we were really hungry and we didn't want to miss Stone Sour. And honestly none of us were that interested in watching In Flames (Yes I know. Maybe it was the hunger):P.

Thanks:D!

Who said i make decisions for other people ??? who said vihaan is my friend.. we don't like each other & we know it ... I guess you forgot my blog....what can u do .. u have such a sad memory....
Neways.. ur talking about my outlook .!!! YOU LOL !!!.. No1's outlook sucks... every1's is different & is true .. My outlook here is Evil will prevail here .. I'm not happy about it but it will.. We can all do our part . But it won't help much because the bad guys do their part also ...
For the post , Yes .. People will protest people will do this & do that but that will reduce terrorism from 100% to 94% .... instead of there being 20 shootouts this year there will be 17-18 .. its just an example.... People
