Main Reason

Stupidity is the main reason that peace cannot occur. A stupid is not someone who is illiterate or has not had the chance to study. A stupid, according to the dictionary is someone lacking intelligence or common sense. For me a stupid is someone that has had the opportunity to make a positive difference in something and still did not do it for reasons that have no real appeal or strength.

For peace to occur we need to think big and start small, for example the biggest goal I can think is World Peace, yet no one can start acting towards World Peace just like that, it is way too big of a goal, instead we have to start small, let’s say for example smiling or helping others when they need it. Everything would be perfect if as little as ten percent of the people did this and the others did not affect or just went along, but then here comes the problem, stupid people along with their stupid ideas and stupid actions will always exist and they will create problems. The problems they create can be as small as a fight between people or not helping someone else after they got helped, or big problems when they are high in economic or social power, for example leaders in the Middle East like Qaddafi, who is a megalomaniac eccentric soon-to-be ex-ruler of an oppressed nation, whose rule has created pressure among the people in his country and not is in war where people get killed.

But there are not only stupids that do stupid actions; there are also the most dangerous stupids of all, the intelligent stupids. These persons that I am talking about are actually the ones that no one realizes who they are and their effects are not as notorious as other’s acts and still they are the longer lasting effects. I am talking about the media masters, the real bosses and owners of our thoughts, the people that decide what is going to be shown to us in order for them to get control of our thoughts. It is hard to accept that all of our minds are being bombarded by the media with information that leads us to think in a particular way, the way the media master needs us to think. The media master is in fact really intelligent making us stupid and easy to manipulate, still the action done is really stupid since it prevents the rest of us to think as we should and we think the way he needs us to think, which might be in an aggressive way, or even war support. I do not want to say names, but I know of a country that bombards the media with the messages “keep supporting our troops” and another famous slogan which I do not remember quite well but its main idea is to help others sending troops to other places and help the people.

Stupids are the main reason peace is not achievable yet.
