The Seeds Of Peace
Posted by Alexander Marquez on October 10, 2009Turkey and Armenia are at the doorstep of peace, ready to sign a peace agreement in a surprising move for these bitter enemies, who for many years have been separated by their marked differences and their bloody past.
Sure, there has been a slight delay, but one minor delay cannot change the fact that this peace
agreement is a stunning development when you consider the long history that has divided these
former enemies. Whether or not the claims made against one another have been totally true is
irrelevant now because a hero has emerged and peace is moments away. Perhaps this is an
indication that true change is possible in the world after all, and that not all hope should be lost
when it comes to uniting former enemies, and in this case I am calling out to Palestine and Israel,
two states who refuse to settle their differences. We have to awaken from our dream states and
realize that we are all one family, as naive as that sounds, and we must move forward and think
about the well being of the entire world, because, after all, our pride and our nationalism will
mean nothing when this planet becomes extinct because of our ignorant actions.
