war and peace(original)

We are at the beginning of 21st century,when science and technology have excelled to the unattainable peak.science has revolutionized the concept of civilisation. at the same times it has forced us to face the most difficult question of whether the present day human civilsation will be able to survive any longer.

Since the dawn of human civilization,war has become an integral part of it. Men used to fight one another for prossesion of land,power and wealth.The heavy loses incurred in those wars,made man appreciate a state free from wars though peace in a broader sense encompasses a state of freedom from the threat of war.

To attain and maintain lasting peace,what are the avenues that are to be unearthed?If our blood-thirsty and power-thirsty politicians learn to respect the sovereignty of the other countries,the problem finds an easy solution.People all over the world would feel wholeheartedy that the precious wealth of our mother earth is to be directed to ensure a brighter future of the human civilisation and not to the development of deadly weapons.

Fortunatly ,mankind has responded in right earnest. All nations all over the world want PEACE.Organisations like UNO,SAARC,NON-ALIGNED movement are making efforts at the international level but achievement is negligible. In this midst of gloom, Late Mother Teresa with her concern for the poorest of the poor was a self styled ambassador of peace and goodwill. When she took an abandoned crying child in her lap or a helpless orphen under her care,she was not confined by nationality or racial discrimination. It was humanitarian compassion ,which was speaking through her asking for affection and attention. One and all revered her,all over the world but few international leaders seem to be inspired by her simple philosophy of humanity and service to humanity. They all appreciate and applaud her work but few emulate. It's high time we react and work for peace in unison!!!
