Question: Is there a cause you know of in our world today that you feel is of similar/equal importance? Something worthy of groups taking action, even to the point of non-violent demonstration or protest?
The cause I'm about to mention was a cause that was being fought for centuries ago. The cause that I'm talking about is world peace. In my opinion, I find world peace a stupid cause to fight for, however, my opinion hasn't affected those who still chase such a dream. Yes, peace shares a common goal as equality between races, since to have peace, one requires equality and understanding between all types of people. I've watched many peace protests, demonstrations and organizations work their efforts to create world peace. If anything, the end results of all those hard worked efforts end up either getting ignored, insulted, or end up in violence. Many world peace protests are non-violent, for it would be ironic if they were forceful and aggressive. Yes, in the past, there have been times where non-violent protests actually had impact and worked out. However, if one studies closely, they will notice that most of these non-violent protests are led by highly respected figures, not just an average everyday citizen. With all due respect to those who chase the dream of world peace, the idea of world peace is never going to be achieved. Times like these, one can think that maybe later in the future, there will be a time where the world comes as one and unifies under peace. However, by that time is reached, the world would probably be destroyed and it wouldn't matter anyways. For this is only my opinion on the cause, it does not mean that it will really happen.
