Is World Peace A Dream Or Reality

The world peace is at stake:
The world today is in the grip of fear and uncertainly. The world peace is at stake. The nations of the world have failed to secure and stabilize peace. Every nation cries for peace, but is unable to secure it. There are many factors which are responsible for the destruction of peace in the world.

The victories of peace are greater than those of war. It is only victories of peace that rise mankind in the scale of civilization and make the world a better and happier place to live in. A period of war is a period of unrest, chaos and confusion. Art and culture, trade and commerce can flourish only in times of peace. The progress of mankind from barbarism to civilization is a record of achievements made during peaceful epochs. During war times, the hands of the clock of civilization are put back. War is the name of wholesale destruction.

Reasons for destruction of peace:

Peace is a glorious thing. It has never been established in the world for the reasons below.

The first thing which ruins the world peace is war. The world is always threatened by one war or the other. The modern war is name of destruction and disease. Can we abolish war? We cannot abolish war unless the purpose which is served by war is fulfilled by other means.

Firstly:

The first cause of war is nationalism. Nationalism means an excessive loyality to the nation and an excess patriotism. The urge to dominate other nations is the main cause which engineers war. The big power wants to conquer and bring small and weak courtiers under their control. Nationalism becomes a most dangerous thing when it takes the form of economic exploitation. Every strong and powerful country needs poor courtiers for foreign investments. The weak countries are threatened to play a secondary role if they do not admit the superiority of big powers.

The arm industry in the world fuels the flame of war. The arm industry is controlled and managed by such powerful countries like America, Russia, China, England and France. They incite the poor nations to build up their military force and raise their ammunition above the other nations. These powerful countries engineer wars and battles, among the poor countries and find a comfortable market for their weapons. 

The very existence of armies is a great cause of war. 

We have seen that wars are responsible for the destruction of world peace. We cannot end wars. However duration of peace can be increased by adopting following measures.

In the first place, there must be created among the people of the world the temper of peace . In spite serious differences, nation should approach their problems with tolerance and difference should be settled through discussions.

Secondly:

Secondly, Intensive efforts must be made all over the world for the formation of general will to peace. Every thing that encourages mutual distrust should be suppressed. Tolerance should be inculcated.

Thirdly:

The nations , must give weight to the teachings of their holy saints and religious thinkers and men of God. They have always given the message of love, peace and happiness. But unfortunately, the nation of the world has ignored their advice.

Fourthly:

The only super power America must leave the principal of “might is right”. It should exercise justice, tolerance and fairness in setting the disputes of different countries.
