the Greatest Generation should be us #in2010

The Greatest  Generation is a term referring to the generation of people who fought World War II and afterwords rebuilt everything that was destroyed.

I was thinking about this.

Do I want to be called a member of the Greatest Generation? I do.

I can’t?

Because I haven’t fought a war?

Because I haven’t killed anyone?

Well…

They are the Greatest Generation. I acknowledge and honor all veterans who’ve fought. The women who stepped up and supported them. The children, the innocent ones lost. Whether they were wrong or right they died. Anyone and everyone. But I want us to be known as the Greatest Generation. How can we top reuniting and rebuilding a world after a war?

We can top that by uniting and building a world WITHOUT war.

That would make us the greatest generation. That would have people speaking(and tweeting?) of us as the ones who collectively decided that enough was enough. The tools for such communication were never in place. The wealth of common knowledge has never been more accessible. I’m not on some crazy biblical the light is gonna shine down and all will be granted heaven-ish. I’m saying “the people united will never be defeated”. That’s a protest slogan I’ve heard. It’s true but how could the people of the 60′s be truly united when they were small groups of people limited by physical mail and telephone for communication? That’s only 50 years ago. We’ve been “modern humans” for thousands of years. Now look what we’ve come into just in our lifetime(every single person who will read this).

These are not toys we’ve been given they are tools. Let’s use them.

Happy New Year

I said to my friends & fam I hope we all get JUICY

I say the same to you

PEACE for 20-10

  1. War is nothing but a political and religious tool that is used to accomplish a goal. For unification; countries, religions, and ethnic groups would have to come together; however, this is almost impossible. Even if it was possible, most countries, religions and ethnic groups would have to be eliminated. This could never be accomplished unless war is declared.

  2. Could the absence of war be considered as unification? Unified by peace?
