Are we grown ups? Really?

“I have to defend for my country because you have splashed a drop of sea water, a 0.001mm into my boundary!”

And that’s enough as an excuse to show that the new ruler, though his age somewhat too young to convince the world of his capability, nevertheless, has shown to the world his haughtiness and a cut above the rest, by dropping shells at his intruders.

There are more than meet the eye for this though seems too sudden and abruptly but it might have been in their agenda (“their” refers to the advisors behind the scene) as a grand opening to show to the world, not to belittle or intimidate their new successor. Or it might have been a willful egoistic move bestowed from the young ruler and carried out by his fellow
senior citizens, followers.

And innocent lives that have not caused that drop of sea water to fall are going to be lost, like the sacrificing sheep slaughtered in a mass massacre. Imagine the old guards who were so close to spend their last few years in blissful family harmony, might have to die without
a complete body and they are so close to having a peaceful death. Imagine those who just underwent the worst financial crisis and lost all their money, lost their job, loved ones, or became paralysed, and now, have to run for their lives….

And we are adults, supposedly to act like one and be matured. But look at how we deal with issues like this? Doesnt it feel like childhood once again? Running around the muddy field, throwing stones at each other and started killing each other, using tweaks to be rifles, only
to suffer losses at the end of the day, and slowly down the recovery process, dragging
the whole world down.

And we are grown ups, supposedly? And what so great about winning if its won by violence and not wits?
