I'm
confused (困惑的) these days. We are taught at home and at
school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized
(文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I
thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were
playing at the beach. But I talked with him instead and we came to an
agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards
each other in order to win, is it all right?
When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using
violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between
countries? Many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but
ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist, too.
A
war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger.
Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But
can you really "make peace" by killing so many people? I don't think
bombs can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't create love and
caring, and that's what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so
quickly? Why can't they use their wisdom and talk it over?
Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones
that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don't they
act as what they say?
