★vol 1★vol 2★.
This year is also passing by. When you’re living with a job that’s just about going ahead, excepting new things before another, the “future” does not exist according to your calendar. The people who ages ago filmed the New Year’s TV Special, are beautiful cherry blossoms in bloom by now. Or they may be. And so, every “present year” will come to an end.
World peace didn’t come this year either.
What is it even, “world peace”.
It’s when there are no wars, no gaps between rich and poor, no forms of tormenting. Not any of those. Not any at all. Maybe. World peace is vague. No matter how much time will pass, it will still be vague.
If all this came true, we would achieve world peace!
Such an agreement does not exist, it’s vast and reckless. It can’t be achieved like that. Compared to just simple wishes, the significant parts are doubtful. They’re more unclear than the “I wanna become a baseball player right now”-thoughts of a wishful school boy.
How to obtain world peace in an instant = we, humans, have to disappear.
There are those who think so. Immediately the air will be clean, the green will thrive and grow thickly, the animals will be free without any suppression, and the earth will spin around like in a dance. It will become just like the peaceful world drawn in pictures, some people think. Nevertheless, it’s not like that.
That’s not the kind of “world peace” I’m talking about.
If we wouldn't be here, it wouldn't be important either.
There’s a difference between “world peace” and “a peaceful world” and they shouldn't get mixed up. If we wouldn't exist, there wouldn't be a need for world peace. Non-human beings, they don’t wish for it. Non-human beings, they don’t create a world where it’s needed. I thought about it. I really did. I -really dreamily- thought about it.
Well,
We just need aliens to come an invade earth
That’s how my thoughts.. ended up. We wouldn't be national units, but a planet unit instead, and we would all for the first time have a common enemy. If we had to oppose that sort of thing, the world would become one. While the rainbow laser beams would be flying all around, we’d be helping each other, we’d all fight together to overcome the invasion. And then, people would hug each other tightly.
And there we would achieve “temporary” world peace.
I think. This is like the made-up world in the song “*BOOST+BUSTERz*” from LM.C’s first album, “SUPER GLITTER LOUD BOX”. In that story, it appears that the aliens, who attack, are actually heroes protecting the world peace. While humans are breeding and thriving on earth, the “cancer cells will not only destroy the earth, but soon the universe too”. So the punch line is that the aliens actually just came to get rid of those. But this is useless - so what to do. There’s not another universe we all can go to. You’re floating in the infinite universe, looking down on earth, and if nothing would keep on accelerating, I think we would also get the nerve to give up.
This year is also passing by.
World peace didn't come this year either.
