An Important Message to The Next Generation
by We will still declare war on others; we will still hate others for whatever they are doing to us. The only way out of this hell is to regain our honesty and cast away our greed. Then, and only then will we have any real chance of making our world into one that is indeed peaceful and wonderful.

An Important Message to the Next Generation
The modern world is filled with conflicts. Countries war with one another. Religion is an excuse for clashes between groups of people. Family members squabble among themselves. Personal struggle and unhappiness reside in each person.

Causes of Unhappy Things
What are the causes of these unhappy things? The causes may be many but they boil down to two things: lack of honesty and greed.
If you really want to make improvement to your world then these are two things you must be aware of. You need to have honesty and you must not be greed.
Just look at some examples of conflict and we can see how these two things are involved.
On the international level countries sit down for peace – talks while they continue to find better means of killing one another. They talk of arms – reduction while they stockpile their nuclear missiles. Where is the honesty in their actions? They say one thing but do the opposite. Their greed for power blinds them into an unending quest for more and more power. There is only one aim in their mind – to be the most powerful. That is pure greed, and the way to power knows no bounds. Nobody is honest.
Coming down a bit, we see religion today in a state of chaos. Every religion is polluted with hundreds of sects all claiming to be the true one. Religious groups clash with one another. They kill, maim and destroy in the name of religion. Unending fighting has reduced some countries to ruins. Yet they continue in their folly. It is clear that greed has overcome these people. Their greed for power rules them. They assume that they are right and they make their demands, regardless what other people think. Honest reflection on their part will tell them that the world is filled with people of different races, beliefs and religions. It is necessary for us to tolerate and respect one another. We cannot simply assume we are right and the rest be dammed. That is sheer dishonesty and arrogance. But who listens to the voice of his conscience.

A very powerful and well written article. I can’t see the world changing much as the problems you mention will always be around, but it is good to think of what could be in an ideal world.

Good article and great photos. Perhaps the next generation will be able to do what we (and all generations before us) have been completely unable to accomplish. I guess we all have to hope for that.

I like this very much. I have been trying to tell people for years that peace doesn’t come from greed. It will take many life times to find pease. Or theres a chance that our world will be destroyed by our own doing first.

You’re absolutely right friend Mr. Gahz. It is human greed that makes this world hard to live.

good article clearly explained. People will never understand or care enough to change though until they become selfless. I don’t know which comes first…selflessness or honesty and generosity.

How right you are Mr G. I has been said that more people have died in religious conflicts than any other.
