Wars Should Be Avoided At all Costs_ an article

               


George Washington once said, “My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from earth." War is the march of hell on the surface of earth, and it leaves in its wake, corpses, ruins, rubble, families destroyed, and regret for having invited this monster from hell. Wars can never end conflicts, they complicate it further.





World War 1 and World War 2 are the two ugliest scars on the face of mankind. They wreaked so much havoc that its precedent is impossible to find since the beginning of evolution. Wars are futile and outcome of man’s ignorance and anger. The people of the world must learn a lesson from these two holocausts.



All the wars that were fought in the history of mankind taught man the horrible lessons of its futility. The most heinous and horrible war in the entire history of mankind is the Second World War. The dates August 6, 1945, and August 9, 1945 are written indelibly on the pages of history with blood of thousands of people who died a painful death in the nuclear bomb attacks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Hiroshima bomb killed approximately 1,40,000 people instantaneously; Nagasaki underwent almost the same nightmare.





 Seeing the enormity of death and destruction, the entire world condemned the use of nuclear bombs. Even those who were in favour of its use in war, felt remorseful. The most frightening aspect related to nuclear bombs is, the world is full of them. Bombs many times more potent than the ones used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, are lying ready in the arsenals of many country.



Even in the modern times, the consequences and fallout of wars in countries such as Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, millions of people have been affected. The cities in these countries that used to be full of life and echoes of happy children and are deserted with destroyed houses, shops, and complexes. One feels miserable seeing such a huge destruction. The world is in a precarious position. Another large scale war involving two or three nations might end very life of man! When will man become wiser and renounce war forever? May be soon!



   In conclusion it can be said that wars are symbolic of savage backwardness. Civilized people resolve their conflicts through peaceful dialogue at the discussion table. So, wars must be avoided at all costs.
