Violence is indeed the last thing we need in this world..
But the world we live in now, sadly, is frequently shocked by atrocities and flagrant acts of those who have lost their humanity.

no more violence.. |
And here at the UN, we continue to work on finding the solutions and comon ground to address the rise of radicalization and violent extremism, wherever it is conducted. On whatever basis..identity, culture, religious values or something else.

And this knotted gun, a gift from Luxembourg in 1988, sculpted by Carl Fredik Reutersward, is a vivid reminder that violence, for whatever reason, wherever it is, be it in Paris, Beirut, Baghdad, Gaza, and any corners of the world, should stop NOW.

Is promoting peace and tolerance that difficult?
What is it that makes it so hard to live side by side with others in harmony?
Because to me, intolerance, and its growing manifestations, only breeds and propagates hatred, division and violence.
The last thing we need in this world....
And never forget... terrorism and violent extremism cannot be attributed to particular religions, nationalities, civilizations or ethnicities.
Stay safe, everyone...
Hidup di dunia kan cuma sekali, knapa nyari permusuhan.. So I love peaceful in this world

ReplyDeletemy pleasure, Cascia..
DeleteI loved this, good post :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a tanfastic week and thanks for trotting by :-)
Thank you and have a peaceful week,,
DeleteNo more pointing guns. Miris juga nich, di permainan anak-anak diajarkan juga tembak-tembakan, semoga hanya permainan saja dan semua warna dunia mampu mengikhlaskan diri untuk berdamai.
ReplyDeleteaku selalu menghindari permainan anak-anak yang tembak-tembakan maaak..
DeleteIyaahh... yang bikin serem di amerika itu krn tidak ada larangan pemilikan senjata sih ya? Tapi enaknya krn bebas tapi ada peraturan utk mendata senjata kepemilikan. Jadi jika terjadi sesuatu mudah dilacak melalui nomor seri yg terdaftar.
ReplyDeleteKebalikan dengan di indonesia yg dilarang tapi lalu masyarakat bisa merakit sendiri dan jadi sulit dilacak jika terjadi sesuatu.
Ih..ribet
betuuul mba..tapi memang semua itu harus ada batasannya...dan sadar diri jugaa ..
DeleteThis is awesome. To me, it does not seem to be a hard thing - to be kind.
ReplyDeleteBut, we are made of Greed: for money, for power, for whatever it is we think we are so entitled to. Unfortunately some use violence to get what they want. If only people would put the right priorities within their hearts.
Sadly, I can't agree more...greed engulfs us easily and look what happen around us :(

ReplyDeletesippoo..will do :)
Deletewow cool the gun mbak indah,,,,
ReplyDeletewell..I like it as well because it is knotted :)
DeleteI like your line, "And never forget... terrorism and violent extremism cannot be attributed to particular religions, nationalities, civilizations or ethnicities."
ReplyDeleteWe've had 2 vandalism incidents on a mosque that's by our house. One was after the Paris attacks. The other was in the fall. One of Mica's best friend's families go there. I just feel awful for them. It hurts me that they are being judged.
I'm kind of on the fence with gun ownership. I feel like it's more about morals than anything. Those that want to attack will go as far as making bombs if they have to to attack people. Bad people find a way to do bad things.
you are right, Alissa..they always find the way when it comes to chanelling out their outregous hatred. Peace is not always that easy..
DeleteWhile I am all for responsible gun ownership, I also love the message here. Promote peace and harmony. Not hate and violence. Well said!
ReplyDeleteI concur with you as well Theresa ..responsible gun ownership is exactly what we need but again promoting peace and harmony has to be redoubled again and again..
Deletejadi inget peristiwa2 penembakan yg brutal, terbaru di paris :(
ReplyDeletebetuuul mba...tragic things happened here and there :(
DeleteAgreed - violence solves nothing: it just fuels the problem. (We have one of those knotted guns here in Stockholm.)
ReplyDeleteserem amat itu pistol gede gitu mbak
ReplyDeletewaduh itu pistolnya gede :)
ReplyDeleteSayangnya itu cuma tinggal tugu doang ya mbak, hanya sedikit orang yang bisa mengambil makna yang tersimpan padanya.
ReplyDeletepistol raksasa...dorrrr
ReplyDeleteBecause the peaceful world makes "nothing" for some..
