Hello Citizens of the world,
We truly are living is some of the most horrific (not officially war) times in the history of humanity. There are, currently 15 armed conflicts going on all around the world. That sounds like a small number, until you count the casualties.
Unknown Civilians Killed, 200,000+ Displaced/Refugee in the Siekka Rebellion in Central Africa, 1600+ civilians killed in Boko Haram jihadist Insurgency in Nigeria, the hundreds killed in Burma, and of course there never will be an official count in the never ending disputes in the middle east, the current situation in Ukraine, the unceasing N and S Korea feud.
In addition to this, there are 21 active insurgencies in the world. That is a total of 36 pairs of organizations fighting each other and killing millions of people in the process.
A recent report says in Syria alone, more than 140,000 people are dead in the 2 year long dispute. Think about that number for a second, in 1 country (which is 0.63% of their entire population). Compare that to worldwide Cancer deaths 8.2 Million (which is 0.12% of the worlds population).
Some of these numbers are staggering, absolutely staggering.
People are dying in wars and rebellions more than due to diseases (which are sometimes caused due to these wars in the first place) and natural disasters.
No reason, genuine as it may sound to the parties involved, is good enough to explain this.
The apparent "leaders" of the free (and not so free) world are childish idiots. Have you ever seen a couple kids in school who can't stand each other, they seem to fight every time they are even remotely around each other. These presidents and Prime Ministers are behaving like those kids. But THEY AREN'T KIDS!!!! A few million people die directly due to acts of war and then a at least a few thousand more because whats left of their life is basically some concrete blocks, a jar full of ashes and eyes full of tears. The fight goes from I can kick your ass to my friends can kick your friends asses to my army can annihilate you to the most unfortunate "My God can kick your Gods ass"
So, after reading all of that, you're probably thinking, how does any of this relate to any language study. The answer is simple. The world needs to learn the real meanings of words/phrases it uses.
So in summary, "We kill people who kill people, because killing people is wrong!"
PS: To get a real sense of the fight, apparently "for humanity", please check out this link. The truth won't set us free, it will keep us up for nights!!!
