Why seek peace?

Why peace?

Why peace, when we can kill each other and stain our hands with the innocent blood of our counterpart?
Why peace, when we can have laments across both sides of the border, when a lady cries for her husband or son, and a kid cries for being orphaned?
Why peace, when we can target the innocent for the deeds of a handful of culprits?

I'd again ask, why peace, when a friendly India Pakistan game can be embroiled in the political infinite loop?

Why peace,  when hatred is all that is taught to us by the one's whose sole motive was to fracture the brotherhood and humanity?

I do not, in anyway intend to promote sarcasm, but would request each one of us, be it Indian or pakistani, to stay still for a moment and ponder on the topic, the reason why we've had recurring wars and consistent hatred towards each other.

Why have two nations, that share the same origin grown to have such hatred toward each other that war lurkes upon them each moment?
While the harbingers of  enemity are being worshipped, those of love and peace are often bombarded with inappropriate punishments and boycott.
Why is there a need to fight, when each time a soldier is killed, his mother weeps of bloody tears? Each time a bomb explodes, hundreds of lives are shattered. The feeling stays common on both the fronts, each one of us feel hurt when an innocent is plagued.
Why do we need to fight when we feel the same way, bleed the same blood?
If logic is questioned, nobody would have an appropriate answer to the reason of this enemity, but if aggression demanded, thousands would raise.

I stand aware of the delicacy of this topic and seek no motive to deduce someone's action as wrong, but to highlighten the reason why we've had unnecessary bloodsheds for the last seven decades, when all that was needed was an embrace of love.

Had the blot of partition not stereotyped our minds, we'd have had greater number of excellencies popping up. The map would have had a larger part as one nation. We'd have escaped umpteen deaths. And being a cri ket fanatic, I believe our cricket team would have been the best team, with the Indian bastmen and Pakistani bowlers coming togethor for one nation, their nation.
Revenue wouldn't have suffered, the country would have bloomed to be a powerhouse.

Now that being said, what is past is history, all we can do is to help build a better future for all to survive in a healthy manner. Make peace, not for them but for yourself.

Signing off!

    1. Sir/ Ma'am

      There are more muslims in India than in Pakistan. And religion can never be the basis of hatred.
      Tum ram kaho wo rahim kahe dono ki garaz allah se h.

      Love knows no bounds. And thoughts can be changed if provided with the correct path.
