Title: A Dream of Peace
I’ve seen war. I’ve lived it, breathed it, survived it. I’ve watched nations rise and fall, watched leaders promise peace only to trade it for power. But I’ve also seen something else—people. Not governments, not ideologies—just people, from all walks of life, coming together, trying to build something better.
I dream of my multicultural community living in peace. A world where the scars of battle don’t define us, where we don’t have to fight just to survive.
Some condemn the United Nations. People like Alex Jones call it a tool of control, a false hope. But I don’t see it that way. I bend like a reed in the wind to the UN—not because I am weak, but because I know strength isn’t just about fighting. It’s about knowing when to stand firm and when to compromise for the greater good.
The UN is a wonder. I knew it even back in my days playing Civilization 2. It was the only real chance at world peace in that game, just like it is in real life.
We can’t let cynicism destroy what little hope we have left. If we want peace, we have to build it together.
