In as much as I don't advocate for any of the above,I think having a war free world is as good as having a disease free world because war comes with so many things (bad things)

In the first world war,it was saiy that this is the war to end all wars,a war that took over 40 million lives . And I believe the numbers are much higher, because food shortage, unemployment, sorrow, hate and anger led to millions dying.

Now, the first world war was never the end of all wars as we all know,it sowed the seeds for the second world war where Hitler out of shame and anger of being defeated during the first world war mobilize a new war. Something tragic happened, this second world war claimed over 85 million people inflicting different degree of injuries and sickness to those left.

As if that's not enough,that war sowed the seeds of many more wars as the world are seeing today,the war between Russia and Ukraine,the Israeli and Palestine war and recently the war between Israel and Iran and the funny thing is that each side thinks the will win,but they don't realize the are sowing seeds for many more wars.

Imagine two countries fighting each other,one country drips a bomb and during the bombing a child loses his family. He somehow escaped,but he has lost his own family. Now when this child grows up,in the next 14 to 29 years,he will have immense hatred and anger against the country that dropped the bomb. Deep within him, this anger and hatred is burning and wants to revenge and this child starts a new war

This same thing is applicable on the other side. In a war,both sides sow seeds for future wars. And the hate keeps growing and growing and growing. It doesn't stop because the Same thing happened on the other side too. This is how the cycle continues. In wars, remember that the people fighting don't benefit , the soldiers don't benefit, the civilians don't benefit,the children who lose their friends don't benefit.

The only people who benefit are the people with vested interest,by this I mean those one's who sell thy warm machine and the political class whose own children are not the ones going to fight.

For me,I would advocate that we as humans should stop teaching hate to our children. Wars will never end if you keep teaching your kids to hate. Whatever happened in the pass is over let's start afresh.life is meant to have a beautiful flow,a river flows that doesn't have blockages. Hate is a blockage that stops the flow of life. It stops the flow of creativity and possibility,this life is too beautiful to be wasted in hating

In conclusion,both war and diseases are not desirable to any nation, let's work together to make the world a better place for me and you.

Thanks for reading through 🙏
