Where's the Peace?

Alright everyone, it's time to get controversial. Today when I got on Instagram I was flooded with #prayforparis naturally, I wondered what all this was about. So I went online and did a little research. What I've found shocked me. If you didn't already know, over 118 people have been killed by shots and blasts in Paris, France. This is a tragic event, but I can't help but question things. Of course the amount of love being sent to Paris is wonderful. But angry celebrities posting #prayforparis on Twitter is not going to solve anything. Literally, their Tweets don't matter. Those Tweets won't bring back the people, and whoever attacked Paris won't look on Twitter, see these posts then think, "Oh, well I'm going to turn my life around." I don't mean to sound cruel, but action is what's required at times like these. Words are pretty and all, and I'm sure someone said something really profound about this situation. But words are useless without action.

I have one more thought on this. The world claims to be a promoter of peace. But attacks like these happen all the time, just not in such large scales. The truth of the matter is, we are not at peace. Our planet is a time bomb just waiting to explode. I'm afraid that more events like this will cause that bomb to explode.  I like to think of myself as a peaceful person, I'm honestly against all kinds of violence. Over the weekend it will be interesting to see how this evolves. To see how other countries will react. To see how the U.S.A will react. I listened to a speech Barack Obama gave on the matter, and I agree with him. France helped us gain independence, we need to help them in times like these. I'm scared for the worst, but I hope for the best. Perhaps this will help us realize that we need peace on this Earth. These attacks can only grow bigger, and eventually there will be nothing and no one to attack.

Finally, instead of #prayforparis I think it should be #prayforpeace
