JAINISM-PLEASE SAY NO TO WAR LOUDLY--!!!.

Friends human sufferings at large scale just seem to be never ending. First it was Pandemic now it is ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict. It can be concluded that vested interests have decided to keep the fire burning. Recently, I saw a related video on it and it reminded me the Mahaveer swami's non violence theory. Apparent root cause behind pandemic was bat's meat while it is greed for current conflict. Whole world is watching war helplessly. Nearly 141 members out of the193 members of UNO urged to stop it. Thirty five of members remained absent including India and five voted in favor of war. In this context  I liked a war poem by a Palestine poet. He is Mr. Mahmood Darwish (1941-2008).It is too touching. Have a look at image shared for this harsh but true poem. Poet has nicely summarized evils of any war.

We as human are not new to war. We have watched world war I and  2nd including so many others but forget to remember devastation of  a war. Effects of war haunt us for years Soldiers who have lost lives never come back. Properties and other damages takes so many years to get rebuilt. Have you ever given thought why the whole world is held for a ransom by few individuals or super powers ? Broking of
any war is not a single day event rather it is a too long term process. Masses of any country select a person to lead them. Eventually to be in same office forever this Supreme starts to sell dreams and fear to public. No one cares to challenge him. Super power are keeping eye on such leader. They catch him to get added to their customers long list with small favors. With passage of time when full dependence is 
created either superpower to enhance their own territory boundaries invade targeted country. There is more or less same practice by them.
It may not be same case for every case but  greed of big nations has
always been the underlying aims of any war. If as a parent we cared to cultivate a sense of caring for other living souls tiny or big based on non violence theory of Bhagwan Mahaveer, the leader will think twice before any of such misadventure. From childhood when a kid taste non vegetarian food, he start to loose his value for other's lives. Surprisingly all heads who issue war orders have faith in their God.
Whenever I happen to pass from a butcher's shop I remember a line from a famous Hindi movie. Those line says some thing like follow-
"Ek chutki sindoor ki kimat tum kya jano Ramesh babu-------?". Likewise a life of single soldier or civilian means nothing to all these superpowers. There is total ignorance for Bhagwan's second theory of "Anekantwad".No one ready to listen other's view. Only might is right theory guides the decisions. Moreover nuclear weapons are being used as a blackmail tool. I can feel and see a silver lining in all those odds. That is number of protestors and demonstrators in all the
countries world wide. Even in Russia people are gathered for no war theme. Let us hope for a day when our earth  will be declared as a no war zone by  all the super powers. Yes miracles  do keep happening. Hopefully world soon recognizes and approve Bhagwan's theory of non violence and start to value of a single living soul small or big
