    Yes, I was thinking the same that war won’t happen again in Europe that we as humanity have evolved sufficiently to realise that violence is never the answer, but reality has proved me wrong.

    I really liked what Jordan’s deputy prime Minister has said:

    “Violence will only make things worse,“ he added. “The amount of hatred that will come out of this amount of misery will not lead to peace.”

      War never leads to peace, only to continual retaliation. The old saying “to have peace you must prepare for war” speaks of an ill mentality that believes arming people with weapons will somehow cause peace to break out. The opposite is true. Nobody amasses weapons with the intent to simply use them as decorative household items. To have peace, you must prepare for peace. Which means you don’t worship death, you don’t nurture hatred, you don’t hoard weapons, and you don’t harbor resentments without seeking mental help for it.
