Absurdity

I felt the internet was really uniting the world, that we were slowing going to 1 government, 1 people, that there are no borders online. We were all becoming one, with online and automatic translations becoming so easy and more readily available. More and more people talking to each other and finding out we are all just human and just people. Could talk to anyone in the world, people show up in any forum and we were all understanding each other and becoming more connected, as just 1 people. The more we got to know each other the more common grounds we would find.

But the leaders find new ways to divide us with their wars and propaganda. Pit the people against each other, lies about how much other people hate each other. Lies about how we are different, about how there are other people, and just just humans, humanity as one. Make the soldiers follow orders or other soldiers following orders will kill them for not following orders. The whole house of cards of human society, that if we all just stopped listening at once and got along they couldn't stop us.

Like can't we just realize we are all people with no qualms with each other? All the soldiers everywhere just put their weapons down and refuse to fight and humanity just get along as one? Seems we need to be led. I feel like parliament would do well without a leader, why does a leader need to exist? Just have everyone as an equal council, stop trying to divide people into parties, and just vote for a person who will represent the area well and works well together with others. If only we all voted for politicians partly because they worked well together with others.

I understand why the current sanctions are needed, but I wish they weren't. I wish there was no war or fighting. That there were no borders, we could all just get along and be as one. I mean why not? We can all be friends with anyone across the globe, so why not try to give peace a chance and all be friends?

In words of Lennon:
"Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer,
But I'm not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will be as one."

These words speak to me all the time, just imagine. Gandhi as well, be the change you wish to see in the world. I want to see peace in the world, I want to see happiness, joy, and security spread, so that is what I will always push for, no fighting, only peace. And maybe we can somehow stop putting global progress back 60 years and just start coming together right now.
