When Does It End?

When does it end? When do wars, retaliation, and vengeance end? When will we finally have enough? How large must be the mass grave? How many coffins must be made? How many tears must be shed? When will the screams of agony and pain ring through the ears of the world? How much longer must I view the slaughter of my fellow people and beg God to give me an answer on how to save them? "ANSWER ME!" I scream, then beg, then cry. What must I do? How can I save them? How can I save myself?

I provide no answers to this. I wish I could, yet I must once again look at the pages of the newspaper next to me and see words of retaliation. Once more my eyes are filled with news of a mass grave. Again I know that war has not ended.
One day though, I believe it will. When restraint is shown. When wisdom is gathered in enough quantity. When love so outbalances hate that no one will question that it the greater force. Then we shall have piece.
That is why I'm here. I am here to help in that progression. To help people think, reason, and discover that the best ways to improve themselves and others. I wish I could write on this page the way to peace, or come up with some solution that will create peace by the end of the year, but I can't, I can merely offer the advice of a man who desperately wants everyone to be happy and to prosper. I ask only that you ponder my words and make a decision on them. Are that but the word of a fool, or is there perhaps something in them? Something that may help in ending the pain of  those who call this world home? Who share blood not so different from your own and have their own dreams that they desperately wish to fulfill?
I do believe that war will end one day, it has to. We cannot continue on this path. It is the path of destruction and rage, and one day there will come a person furious or insane enough to destroy themselves and take the whole world with them. If war has not ended by then, if the blood has not ceased to flow from open wounds, than that person will take up that mantle, and do so. So here I call on you, and all people to think and love. To put wisdom above bigotry, justice above vengeance, and love above hate, though it is hard to do so, and to use these qualities to better the world and prove that my faith in this race is well placed. For the love of everything you hold dear, prove me right this once! You may disregard me on everything else, but do not do so here! What I say here is far too important.
We are a race without limits, and I would have us soar among stars, not drown in crimson mud. But I cannot do this alone though I wish I could. I need your help. So please, think on my words and then act. Thinking is not enough, you must act! And when you do, I would like very much to hear back from you. To know what you've done and be inspired.
With that I, as sincerely as possible, thank you for reading this, and I bid you the finest of days.
