Let me tell you a story about a little girl, Sasaki Sadako.
In Japan, there is a legend that whoever folds 1000 Orizuru(Origami swans), that person would be granted one wish.
The story of Sadako.....
There was a 12 year old girl in Japan in the year 1955 who had leukemia. She was dying because of the radioactive effects of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
While in the hospital, she heard about the legend of Orizuru so she began trying to fold 1000 of it, hoping not to die.
But.....when she saw the other children at the hospital dying like her, she knew she couldn't be saved.
And so, when she folded the 1000th orizuru, she wished....
"I wish for world peace, I wish the world would be a world where no children will have to die or suffer."
Do you think it's foolish for her to wish that....or maybe it is us who are foolish enough to allow this to happen?

Acceptance of war as a natural phenomenon of humanity is utterly disgusting... people like that make me sick! Defeatist pathetic creatures taking up too much space... I hate war, I hate hate, I hate anti-humanists, I hate anti-life... stupid stupid stupid...

Another proof of God.
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise. -Matthew 21:16.
Notice the child says the same thing Jesus did throughout the Gospels about children being special and peace?

Once again, someone who cannot see the good in what happened at Hiroshima. That little girl may have died, but millions were saved by dropping that bomb there. Millions of Japanese and millions of Americans. Peace is not possible without war, and then it is only momentary. Peace can only come when Jesus comes to take over.

I wish to be a Trillionaire, but you won't see that happening.
War has co-existed alongside humanity, I don't think we will ever find peace in this world. It's just our nature.

It was very nice of her to have such a wish! We must do all we can to stop or at least relieve children's suffering.
