All I want for christmas
Christmas is a time for giving, a time to show love to one another. A time to be good to one another.
Doesn’t this seem to be a bit strange? The whole years nation fight, there is war etc. And once a year there is peace on earth? Isn’t this a bit hypocritical?
Christmas is a Christian holiday, In my opinion the christian thing to do is to work towards peace on earth the whole year long. And don’t give me that crap about “if you want peace be prepared for war”.
My whole live people in world politics have been telling us that the wars are fought to achieve are to maintain peace. I don’t know about you but that sounds like a bunch of crap. Peace is never achieved with weapons. If you don’t believe me take a look at world history. Every war in history ever started is about expanding the own nation or to achieve “peace”.
Now look at our history and look at the people who achieved peace even for a small group, state or nation. Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandi. They both achieved there goals of peace and independence without using weapons. Martin Luther King got his inspiration from Ghandi, a non-christian non violent leader. Yes I know it is difficult to not to use violence when others use it against you. I can’t. If someone hits me I hit him back much harder. Yes I myself use violence when it’s used against me. That’s why I look up to Martin Luther King and Mahatma Ghandi, they used non-violence. I admire that but can’t do it myself.
So far a non-christian leader has inspired a christian leader to use non-violence to achieve what christians want to have/achieve/celebrate once a year.
In my opinion the best thing to do is to try to achieve peace on earth the whole year long. And using weapons is not a way to achieve this. If we do achieve peace we can celebrate this achievement every christmas.
So all I want for christmas is for people to think about how to achieve real peace on earth not only wish for it.
