When the tower of Babel fell, the tongues of men were divided, so many languages sprout out (Gen 11:1-9)..we live in a world where humanity of all things needs saving.
There is the diversity in race, religion, climate and so on..This diversity is the backbone of the major problems in the world..
I'd use the happenings in my country, Nigeria as a case study..
Some years back, a group of insurgents known as Boko Haram arose in the north eastern parts of Nigeria, terrorising the people of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.
What was there issue with this innocent villagers? They just didn't agree to western education..As time went by, many other reasons for their breakout was also given, some said it was to equip the northerners with dangerous weapons, others said it was a government conspiracy..
why would someone result to violence and killing innocents just to be heard?
Another instance is the present killings in Benue state here in Nigeria.
The clash between herdsmen and the local people has become so bloody, hundreds of lives have been lost so far.
what would you do if you come across an armed herdsman in your farm?
There shouldn't be a cause for all these crisis in the first place..
There are problems all over the world, people are suffering across continents.. When i hear Syria, the first thing that comes to mind is a group of refugees...Why should people be hostages in their own country?
Diversity is good, but it can also breed contempt.
Let's all try to accept the beliefs, cultures and ideas of other people..Yes, it's not an easy thing to do but we can make that sacrifice towards unity..
God help us
