“Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
I have no wish to spend my days staring up at the sky and watching the rockets fly back and forth, while various countries try to destroy each other.
North Korea’s decision to go ahead with their rocket launch, may just simply be their attempt to join the satellite race but it could also be a statement of intent. A statement that Kim Jong-il is ready to take on the rest of the world for power and that is a frightening prospect.
If you arrest people’s rights and put them into a situation where their lives are in jeopardy then no one can claim that they win. It’s not something I want to be in the middle of and it always makes me wonder why we have in our nature the want and desire to destroy the things we work sohard to create.
There is also the want to have something that others have and maybe Jong-il has looked towards other countries like America, Japan, Korea China and all of Europe and said “why can’t I join in?”
This needs to be stopped, whoever has their finger on the button needs to stop and think about their actions and the subsequent reactions because that horrible word revenge has been used for centuries as justification for too many actions in the name of what is right.
Usually it is not the case.
