True peace is nothing but a pipe dream. Unity amongst everyone in our race is the same. How can anyone spout such nonsense but then find out that more than half the world is living in poverty, is malnourished or suffers in a way the first world will never feel? We are inherently born like that because the way we evolved. We had one instinct and one goal; to survive. Granted in this day and age our brain power is immense, but that same ideal of survival is still within us and is reciprocated by us all in some way, shape or form.
I am well aware of the conditions of the Third World, I used to belong to one, and as a child I wanted nothing more than to get the hell outta there.
I realize that I am nothing but a deserter. I abandoned my people and my country for a better life for myself. That doesn't mean that I don't give a shit.
I never forgot. In the First World I have a chance at bettering myself, accumulating wealth and resources. As a part of the greatest species on this planet no goal is too high, nothing is impossible.
I can create my own life with my own hands. Once I have reached the top I will have a chance to actually make a lasting difference in the world.
I believe that if people can get over themselves and all their negative impulses and actually try to make the same kind of difference, poverty and conflict would be vanquished from our world in no time at all.
There are billions of us who have that chance.
