They are the world
Only children still keep this innocence that can ensure communication between all creatures and finally save the world.
Any child in the world envelops, with his goodness, the universe in its entirety. He can only love. But just to some extent. At least, up until adults will teach him how to hate.
Most adults build their adulthood on the foundations of hatred and as a logical consequence, spend most of their life, living in fear. And fear fathers the need for protection. We over-arm ourselves for protection. And by doing so, we provoke fear among our neighbors. The other starts over-arming himself! We have created the curse and begun waiting from which parts of the sky will the blow strike us, and man uses in this respect, terrifying modern technological means.
Because the human being's vision is often characterized by lack of realism, it often leads to violent clashes.
Anyway, anyone who manufactures or develops or use mass destruction weapons, should keep in mind, that in a mercantile world where the supreme value are merchandise and profit, where the property of things changes constantly of pretender (you have just to pay the right price), where morality is no longer a reference for social behavior, in the hands of whom, might one day, these arms fall? Many nations are terrorized today, by arms they themselves fabricated!
Possessing mass destruction weapons implies necessarily the possession of its equivalent in wisdom. No one would ever think of giving a lunatic a gun. But, alas, presently lunatics with guns can be met at every corner.
Considering present nations behaviors,ineluctably, the future of hundreds of innocent children around the world, is going to become the hostage of these thousands of highly sophisticated killing machines disseminated everywhere .
When man cannot understand that the smile of the child living nextdoor is nothing but the genuine expression of pure human love, it is the sign that the present civilization has won in a glorious way,its right to experience what happened to the dinausors some cyclic times ago! Because at this time ,children's innocence can no longer save the world because,simply,there will be no innocence since we won't meet children anymore,anywhere!
