Stop war

Six million people

One million people

Do you know what each number represents?

The number of casualties from the Korean War was six million people. 
One million people were killed or hurt by Iran-Iraq War.

After the Second World War, United Nations were established for international peace and safety preventing wars.

However, 5 years later, the Korean War occurred.

It showed that sadly UN cannot stop wars completely.

30 years later after the Korean War, there was Iran-Iraq War in the Middle East. 
The invasion by Iraq of Kuwait caused Gulf War.

Recently, Syrian civil war happened.

Can we say that we are safe from wars?

Truth be told, I was not interested in peace and wars before.

To me, peace is good and wars were bad. That was all.

However, after I grew old as an adult, I met many various foreign friends and talked a lot. 

From some of my friends, I realized that wars were not that far from me and many people still suffered from wars.

For example, I had some Rwandan friends. I heard miserable and terrible Rwandan Civil War from them. I was so shocked.

Those kinds of talking affected me. I decided that I would do something that I could do for peace. That decision made me start the blog.

I think you are not different from me.

Most of you will think that you have nothing to do with wars and peace.

However, if you look around the world a little bit more, you will find that many people still suffer from wars. 

Our attention can bring peace much faster to the world, ceasing wars, so I hope that you will pay attention to peace while you are living supporting peace.
