Caricatures!

 Drawings and cartoons are really effective to deliver some messages or ideas. We can describe our thoughts through the image implying many things at once. Also it is often easy to understand and can have stronger impact than speech or writing. So here i brought some funny cartoons and cute pictures about peace today :) 

I love this picture. We used to have birds caught in the cage, but i've never thought of locking weapons in the cage instead of them. Peace dove must fly free all over the sky.

 Isn't this picture so funny? Like the first one it is brilliant in some different way lol because I haven't thought about other "birds" as a symbol of peace, neither chicken is a kind of bird. How about you? Chicken now wants to stand for peace too!

 However here's some people who has nothing better than chicken. You might know, PALESTijNEN in the cartoon means Palestinian in Dutch and iSRAЁL means Israeli. The cartoonist must be Dutch. (Thanks to him/her) The Palestinian in the picture is saying "To the right, I say to the right..." but we can see the Israeli drives to the left. This implies a big part of world conflicts has been made by those two nations. Israel wants settlements', Palestine don't want to give them their land away.

Here we can see how to destroy peace. People who wants to harm others use weapon very 'peacefully' and use them for 'pieces'. These are really satirical ones. Actually the root of many conflicts and wars is religion. They say differences in religious faith make some feud, but is there supposed to be things like feud or hatred between religion?

 He looks like meditation but actually thinking of revenge. Muslims and Christians are not the only do wars and kill each other but many other religions too. I posted about the massacre of Muslim people in Burma supported by Buddhists. Blind, extreme belief makes those tragedy I think. It's so terrifying.

Not expecting religion to help make peace (or just to be good), who should do things for peace? Politician? Peace workers? Let's see.

 I am sorry to make fun of only Obama but I didn't mean it. I wanted to show the hilariousness of TEAM EDWARD and TEAM JACOB. (They are two awesome guys in Twilight series.) We cannot chose one between them so I could understand how hard to make an agreement between them. Like this politicians role are relatively small and has little power even to solve problems. And peace workers, I think they are nothing but window dressing. With Nobel Peace Medal, you cannot run for peace.

 My posting is almost done with peace spray! haha Let's just SPRAY peace around us. How? I told you many times through my writings XD And don't forget to Keep Calm and Peace and Love♡

What's going on in Myanmar

 Have you heard of Rohingya peaple? Rohingya is a minority race in Myanmar. They have been suffered in some reasons in that country. 

 Myanmar(Burma) where Buddhism is the major faith, consists of many nationalities and Rohingya is one of them. They are now discriminated and even cutting off from access to medical service because of religious reason. They are Muslims.

 We generally think Buddhists are moderate and they love peacefulness, but in Myanmar, they protest on the streets to kick out Rohingya and kick out Muslims in their country. So about a million Rohingya is getting out of Myanmar, and heading to neighboring countries, floating on boats. They all became refugees, avoided and rejected.

 Children are killed by malnutrition and diseases, women and girls are being raped, men are massacred. Every horrible thing is being done to these people on earth right now. However, Myanmar government and Aung San Suu Kyi the president of the country as well as a Nobel Peace laureate, are doing nothing just turning their face away from the situation which can be called genocide in their land.

A columnist of The New York Times visited Myanmar and asked a boy from Buddhist region, what if he saw a Rohingya child. The 13 year old boy answered he would kill him. And he asked Muslim children what they would do if they encounter a Buddhist boy. “Hack him,” said the 8 year old child.

 What are the religions for? It seems people use them to justify killing people, hating others. They might not know the true meaning of religion seeing what they’ve done. Religious faith is not supposed to be the reason for doing such evil things, but good things for instance, love, sacrifice, share and so on. We should help Rohingya first and then need to think of the function of those religions which make people kill each other. If we cannot understand and embrace the differences between religion, we’d better give up having one I think.
