Jesus said there will be talks of peace, but peace will never comeBelow reflects the reality of what is happening all over the world right now in present times
The awful civil war in Syria and the terrible refugee crisis caused by it (At east 400,000 people have died because of it) And the blame lies at the hand of just one man the President of Syria Assad the butcher!
With the crisis in Gaza, the rise of Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria and the international stand-off ongoing in Ukraine, it seems that the whole world is at war.
But experts believe this is actually almost universally the case, according to a think-tank which produces one of the world’s leading measures o[u]f “global peacefulness” – and things are only going to get worse.
It may make for bleak reading, but of the ]162 countries covered by the Institute for Economics and Peace’s (IEP’s) latest study, just 11 were not involved in a conflict of one kind or another.
Worse still, the world as a whole has been getting incrementally less peaceful every year since 2007 – sharply bucking a trend that had seen a global move away from conflict since the end of the Second World War.
The UK, as an example, is relatively free from internal conflict, making it easy to fall into thinking it exists in a state of peace.
But recent involvement in foreign fighting in the likes of Afghanistan, as well as a fairly high state of militarization, means Britain actually scores quite poorly on the 2014 Global Peace Index, coming 47th overall.
Then there are countries which are involved in no actual foreign wars involving deaths whatsoever - like North Korea – but which are fraught by the most divisive and entrenched internal conflicts, corruption, hate and murder. .
The IEP’s findings mean that choices are slim if you want to live in a completely peaceful country.
The only ones to achieve the lowest score for all forms of conflict were Switzerland, Japan, Qatar, Mauritius, Uruguay, Chile, Botswana, Costa Rica, Vietnam, Panama and Brazil and even these are crime riddled with thousand of murders happening each and every year
And then we have a host of serial killers, thieves child molesters rapists, sodomites, Wall Steet thieves, evil tyrants like Robert Mugabe etc, etc adinfinitum
Where then is this universal peace on earth, it simply does not exist anywhere in our troubled world.?
