THE PARADOX OF WAR

Before continuing with the theme of ¿Escape from reality or Change of perspective? I could not stop say myself and expressing my thoughts about the "global crisis or thirst for war" that we are currently experiencing; I thought that those times of arms had already passed; the powers prepotent violating the right to life, but if we look closely from the common sayings such as, "if you want peace prepare for war," "patria, socialism or death," extreme radicalisms without respect for the individual; The best government is the one that respects the free will of each citizen, based on the principle that your rights end when mine begins, when my actions directly affect your integrity, you must be penalized.

Now, the countries called "world powers" such as the United States, European Union countries, China and Russia, have perfect excuses and particular interests to create a war or very noble reasons to bomb a territory, in fact any interpretation or opinion who is right or not is ambiguous and fluctuates depending on the reasons and evidence. My big question is what happens with the thousands of dead, wounded and affected by such decisions, innocent children suffocated, the Arab countries tend to be radical and with a mentality alien to my logic, but it is frustrating to see the current disaster, images that mark the heart, like the holocaust of the Jews and number of people killed in the first and second world war, the cold war, many decisions of the countries that intervened was necessary for stability and maintain the status quo between nations.

What painful images are recorded in the mind, see so much misery; the paradox of war is that it manages to bring out the worst violence and evil of the human being, but also awakens empathy, solidarity and humanity in people.

In Venezuela there is also a condemnation, a kind of kidnapping of the country, each of the people killed by insecurity, lack of medicines and famine is real; I have read comments stating that there is no crisis in Venezuela, that as people celebrate on the coasts the off days, I answer is that in the Second World War many of the Germans were ignorant of the killing of people, Or the local media going to risk publishing the truth? Time was the only one that made the truth spring, let's hope it does not take too long for that to happen to us and there exist justice.

What will happen in the world in the coming years? The inaction of the masses will be the cause of the continuous injustices? Or the apathy of each human being with respect to the other? The intent of war is overwhelming, the toc toc of a possible World War III is inconceivable but not completely unreal, we must be prepared to improve with our actions and words what our capacity for influence allows us to comprehend, we certainly DO NOT have the "POWER" of the masses, but if we have the individual POWER and each one has different capacity of reach, regardless of your political, religious or lack of it ideology we all know the value of life.
