戰(zhàn)爭與和平(War and Peace)
generally, war is repugnant, but peace is welcome.while peace is the ultimate goal of all of our undertaking in this world, war has been inevitable in the course of human civilization. does man have an innate taste for war? or is it just an acquired scheme learned from human society? we only know
that there hasn't been any period in the history during which the world was really at peace. human beings pursue peace and prosperity through the establishment of families, communities, and nations. why should we let all these be destroyed by wars?
to reduce the possibility of war to the lowest extent, i have two suggestions. first of all, education should be consolidated to eliminate the brutality and beastliness in human nature. knowledge derives from education and is a surer road to wisdom.wisdom enables us to distinguish right from wrong. it also teaches us restraint and tolerance, two effective means of preventing wayward killing and destruction. another cure is religion. most religions in the world advocate philanthropy and forgiveness, which dissolve hatred and revenge. consequently, education and religion working side by side can transform a barbarian into a civilized person. with wisdom and love, the human race as a whole will detest war and embrace peace.
