There are so many conflicts going on in the world each day. Some of these conflicts tend to last for months and years. Many become so brutal and inhumane that we forget what the purpose of the conflict. Just go and search for conflicts of today. There are tons that I did not know about and I ask myself, Why? What's the purpose? Of course conflicts are bound to happen when differences come in to any situation. But killing innocent children, involving bystanders minding their own business, shooting a person due to an argument, and harming helpless people is by far not the right way to go about handling any situation. We need to learn coping strategies and appropriate ways to handle situations, because too many people are suffering for fights so many of us know little to nothing about. Its time we practice civil solutions and find a way to get along regardless of differences. Let's not forget the most civil fight to gain freedom to even be able to coexist without discrimination. We are bringing the same qualities and limitations that activists fought to get rid of back into our daily lives without even realizing it. They fought for equality and freedom...and how are we repaying them? Rather than using all of our opportunities to our advantage, we have more people dying over petty crimes, going to jail only for a modern-day enslavement, and rejecting the chances to rise up in society along with our well-off counterparts. Whatever your fight is, fight it the right and noble way and quit blaming others for shortcomings.
" In America, we share a dream that lies at the heart of our founding: that no matter who you are, no matter what you look like, no matter how modest your beginnings or the circumstances of your birth, you can make it if you try."
- President Barack Obama, Jan. 31, 2013 -Presidential Proclamation
