Steemit Engagement Challenge S9W4 - "Say No to War"
I am grateful to participate in this sensitive contest topic this week. I love music and for this reason, during the course of my expressions in this article, I will like to incorporate music with a strong message at some points. I won’t say anything out of sentiment, rather I will be on a neutral ground with all possible reasonableness on this topic. First, I will like to start by sharing my views when it comes to wars...
I have never been a fan of war before, not now and I will never be in the future, I have always been against war because of its consequences.
It comes with a big loss and it doesn’t bring anything good. I haven’t actually witnessed any war before in my life apart from the ones I read on the news, see on the TV or heard from friends who are affected, otherwise, I can’t really relate 100% of how it feels to be in a war zone, but I can Imagine the discomfort, the destructions and the lost children, the lost dreams and the doom this can create.
And so, that is nothing good to take sides with, So I am against war. Thousand of children have been lost in this process and I can only express my thoughts through this song below by Michael Jackson.
I believe in peace and love which I will like to define as the real feelings of mercy and care towards people of all sorts. Unfortunately, mankind is not helping issues in this regard despite shouting this for many years now. However, if love is practised by everyone in our everyday life, the world will be peaceful and a better place to live. The only solution to the first point I made in the above section is love and peace. When we look at ourselves as our brother’s keepers, then we would understand that we are here for all of us.
If I was to create a slogan for world peace, I will call it ” Let’s make it better”.
If we want to make it better, war can’t make it better, hatred can’t make it better, greediness can’t make it better, ego can’t make it better, racism can’t make it better but peace and love can make it better, so put down the rifle and search for the white dove.
I am seeing a beautiful world in the future and I can express what I am seeing through the sentiment of Louis Armstrong through his song entitled what a wonderful world.
In conclusion, you and I have a task and that is to contribute our quota to make the world a better place, maybe you can start from the blog since we have different backgrounds here...think about it.

I have never been in a war and it is an experience that I do not process in my subconscious; therefore, I doubt very much that I would be in a scenario of violence like that. I feel compassion for the millions of people who are under the destructive influence of war.
I remember as a child, when I was about 6 or 7 years old; I was in Caracas, Venezuela, during that bloody February 1989; the disconsolate screams of injured or fallen family members and the intimidating sound of rifles in bursts, never ceased. Time had stopped for me, my beloved aunt tried to keep calm and not to panic, she put a quilt in the bathroom and laid me down there, she lay down next to me while she dried my tears. She told me that it would pass in a moment and it didn't, that situation lasted for hours and days. It is an experience I would never want to repeat, after that pitched battle the exact number of dead was never known, it was said that more than two thousand people died, while silenced sources maintain that the figure was more than 5 dead.
And I bring this remark because you touch a very sensitive point in your dissertation, the children. The psychological damage of those who survive may take many years to heal and in other cases, they may never disappear from the mind but with the extinction of physical life.
War is reprehensible and love should be sown in its place.
It has been a pleasure to read another of your interesting contents. Thank you for sharing it with the community.
Good vibes.
Thank you so much for this interesting points you've bring to light.
War isn't a very nice experience and I can only Imagine this experience you have explained here. It is sad to know you have witness such disastrous a moment in your country.
That's a long time and you were very young...,but the way you are describing it with details shows how long such information be retained in people's
mind and how much trauma such experience can cause to someone.
Imagine people who are actually facing it everyday. Who will erase this from their minds..?🤦♂️
I feel so sad when a child's dream has been shattered as a result of what they or their parents are not guilty or worthy to recieve such bad treatment.
Yes, I was very young, just starting school. We had to cross streets that were stained with blood and a few meters away lay bodies, waiting to be picked up by the authorities, the desolate crying and deep sadness was the sound that could be heard apart from the detonation of the rifles. It is a very unpleasant childhood experience and when you touched on the psychological damage to children, I identified with my childhood.
The scepter of greater imperial power and all the wealth of the planet does not justify the destruction and pain caused by armed conflicts and wars of any kind. An exhaustive program of psychological and social healing will be required to dissipate the damage caused to all those involved, because even the uniformed and their families are exposed to these emotional sequels.
Again, thanks for the informative supplement. Luminous embrace.
Indeed friend, someone in their right mind, not yesterday, not now (supposedly we are super civilized) or ever, could be in favor of something as disastrous as war. This dynamic made me think a lot about Mchael Jackson, specifically about his theme, let's save the world. His slogans "Let's do it better" seem super accurate and fabulous to me. Success in your grand entrance friend.
Hello my friend...,thank you for reading the publication and thanks for your supportive comment.
War is not the solution..but peace and love is.
Let’s make it better!
I completely agree with your belief in peace and love as the embodiment of genuine compassion and care for all people. It's disheartening that humanity continues to struggle in this aspect despite advocating for it. If love is actively practiced in our daily lives, it has the power to create a peaceful and harmonious world. The key solution lies in embracing love and peace while recognizing our collective responsibility as caretakers of one another.
Thank you so much, of course, action is needed not just mere words. Love can correct a lot of bad.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Greetings friend, thanks for sharing this great publication. Like you, I believe that the war does not bring anything good, thousands of innocent people including small children have suffered its ravages.
I am also and always will be against war, because it leads to no other end than destruction, hatred and great sadness.
Excellent slogan for world peace friend. Greetings and blessings.
War doesn't bring anything good.., but it is unfortunate...that this is what many runs to every time.
Solo imaginar el sufrimiento de las personas y principalmente de los niños me llena de dolor.
Las guerras no deberían de existir,allí pierden la vida millones de personas inocentes.
Deseamos vivir tranquilo sin guerra.
Me despido deseandote Feliz noche
Those children are innocent, it hurts to see them suffer over what they have no idea about.
Thank you for your nice input.
I guess everyone will reject war. This is not the right solution. There is still peace as a solution to resolve a conflict.
I like your slogan
This is a simple slogan, but its meaning is very profound.
Success is always for you my brother 💪
