Nations fought two great world wars. Independent countrymen choose violence to defy the laws and rules. The minds are paralyzed with violence. It is not the fault of us, but the very decent spirit that resides inside our brains. We are being trained to compete. The prehistoric men in the history books reveal about their techniques of competition. Modern age men use nuclear weapons to destroy the competitor. Violence grew with the origin of species. How much one tries to control it, the jester headed beings can’t ignore. Peace to them is a beautiful word embraced with harmony of tolerance. Tolerance is something that can be tolerated when the question of survival is absent. The sheer meaning of peace is understood by them but rarely followed.
Is violence justified? Well its 'yes'. And why not? The very Darwinian theory 'survival of the fittest' proves it. Violence is just the pedigree to stay alive. Food is the thought for endurance and anything can be done to preserve it. Don't forget this basic instinct of living beings. We as living beings, and other forms of life survive on the intake of food. Nothing comes swimmingly to you unless you go for it. Harsh world has no mercy laid upon you; neither does it offer a second chance. Fight till the last breath or be a living dinosaur in some museum. The choice is yours. Surprisingly the food of living beings constitutes another living in the form of dead. And when everybody wishes to survive there is hardly any chance of 'peace'. Battle begins. The very root of civilizations is incorporated with violence and it runs deep. Violence is thus a sweet word described by the escapists. They chant slogans with placards written ‘peace’ and march with lit up candles which eventually ends up in a futile effort.
Where the mind is without fear battlefields don’t go empty. Peace follows the winner only after the battle is won. The battle cannot be won with losing it at the same time; peace simply cannot be achieved with the friendship with violence. So, is ‘peace’ truly needed? Does it render us anything? Well it only curbs the level of violence. It calms the mind from strenuous engagements, nothing else. Peace is just a five letter word.
