Nothing Good Comes from War
“I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance, People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction.” said Dalai Lama from Nobel Acceptance Speech in 1989.
As we know, we are in the same world and we are all born equal. Moreover, nobody has the right to take another’s life.

World War II or the Second World War was a global conflict that was underway by 1939 and ended in 1945. During the final stages of World War II in 1945, the Allies of World War II conducted two atomic bombings against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. read more

These stories were pretty amazing. Nothing good comes from war. I think at the level we treat each other, that sometimes it is necessary to remove some of the evil. However, I also think that there is also a level where everyone could be at where war would no longer be needed. It's being able to get to that level.
