Humanity at loggerheads!

Earlier we used to read that all the wars, fights and struggles were for 3Ws! Needless to elaborate!

Then there were world wars on one's whimsical idiosyncrasies; perhaps 2Ws out of the three mentioned above, did form the gamut of reasons! 1936 German olympics did very well to quell the myth of race superiority! The one who harboured the myth could be given the unique distinction of starting the world war second.

The 3Ws today, is over taken by 3Rs! And they are; religion, region and race! Race also entails skin colour!

I still wonder as why all the Stanfords and Massachusetts; and all the Ivy league education seem so frail; when one witnesses the riots in the US, currently taking place. In all probability, all have set aside; the fact that why George Floyd passed away! Late George Floyd breathed his last due to the physical discomfiture, as the cop Derek kneeled on his neck; is right. Yet in all probability, Derek would have never ever imagined; that he would be the reason for causing death! Thus; there is a possibility of this tragic incident happened inadvertently! The riots can be attributed to one 'R' I mentioned! The latent hate seated deep inside, with a sugar coated weak veneer; just erupted! Madam Michelle Obama displayed her frustrations! I wont know as how Mr Barack has reacted! But he should be reminded of his statement; which was boorish; when he ticked India by sermonising and telling India to be more tolerant (towards all religions)! Now he has to explain to himself; that by sheer military power, technology and muscle; a nation is not built! It takes much more! His unstated claim of all good in the US of A stands exposed. Its not with a view to settle any score; am stating this. The need is; that all must seriously think as how to make this shrinking globe ; more peaceful, harmonious, tolerant and empathetic!

Region, being another 'R', is the aspiration of being expansionist; like China for one leads to strife and skirmishes; and can get to a full blown war. Balkanisation is on the other hand its opposite. The example is breaking of USSR, certainly, not the doing of USSR but its adversaries.

Most lethal, and as much paradoxical, is the third 'R'! Religion! Which stands for peace! Religions are competing! My God is better! Your belief is ridiculous! My beliefs are logical and scientific! Yours is absurd! Well! If some one wants to uplift me; why he needs to first change my faith or religion!!!! I have been asked to change my religion on several occasions! And it is an ongoing Pandemic! Imagine; if everyone accepts one single faith or religion; will there be all hunky-dory! Will there be no more militaries and police forces required! Will it be a heaven! No! Thus all races and religions be respected; and not like a la; white is superior to the black; for mere skin colour! Hitler understood it in 1936 Berlin olympics, when Jesse Owens took away the track & field events gold!

One way we all could unite if Martians attack us! Wonder if that will happen! Lest we would be walking the way of self destruction; which is happening! Covid19 has exposed frailties of the world super powers! Lockdowns should open the minds towards a shift in thinking! Covid19 occurred due to bad intentions! Thats certain! Whose bad intentions? Nothing concrete; but pointers are towards only two nations; and will leave it there. Covid19 has rendered all humanity vulnerable! It has been impartial; and has shown its affection to all races, religions and regions alike! Man made virus; wow; and it has wreaked out havoc against the man! Is this what we seriously want! The need is for a more harmonious and peaceful world! Lets think as how to be more respectful to the mankind; to which we all belong! Lets think of accepting and respecting all religions and races! Lets do all where hate is replaced by love! Lets commit to take the humanity from being at loggerheads; to one where love, peace, prosperity and camaraderie thrives! This is my responsibility! Is this yours too?
