War: A fight against one’s own Self!
In the throes of conflict, whether on the global stage or in
personal disputes, a common pattern emerges. The very first instinct of those
who support opposing sides is to dig into the past. It's a natural reflex, a
way of finding ammunition, of unveiling the "truth," and fortifying
one's position. It's a practice that offers a semblance of identity and purpose.
But here's the intriguing part – no matter the war, no matter
the sides, they all stop at some point. For some, that point might be a decade,
for others, a century, and still, some go as far back as a millennium. They are
united in their pursuit of historical ammunition, but this common thread
reveals something deeper – a shared human history.
If we keep digging into the past, going back far enough, we
begin to dissolve the boundaries that separate us. We strip away the layers of
identity, nationality, and ideology. As the sands of time slip through our
fingers, we start to question, "Who am I, really?" And in the
process, we also wonder, "Who are you?"
The more profound and introspective we become, the closer we
get to a singular truth – we are all part of the same tapestry, woven together
by the threads of human experience. The divisions that we construct are
temporal, fleeting, and ultimately, insignificant in the grand scheme of human
existence.
In the end, it's a reminder that, beneath our surface-level
disagreements and conflicts, there exists a shared humanity. We all share this
planet, this history, and this future. In acknowledging our interconnectedness,
we can aspire to work together, find common ground, and build a world where
understanding and cooperation prevail.
So, next time you find yourself mired in the throes of a
heated debate, remember the unifying power of our shared past and the
possibility of a harmonious future. We are all part of the same story, bound
together by the threads of history, and perhaps, it's time to recognize that we
are, at our core, one.
