I stumbled accross an article on the effects of war on chidren. We still estimate the number of Syrian orphans and do not have good figures. The report states that 87 million children around the world have lived at least 7 years in violent conflict. From the psycologicl side the trauma has quite an effect on the brain's development and the mental health of the child. Worldwide 1 of 11 children spend most of their first six years in a state of violence. How do we mitigate such a horrendous situation?
The first step would be to outlaw war. We play so many games by trying to follow all the rules of what should and should not be done during a violent conflict. For example, what ction is right or wrong. That depends on one's view. Then there is the criticism about how people were killed and who was killed i.e. who can be killed and who shold not be killed. Would not a ban on war|violent conflict reaalt resolve most f the issues? As optimistic as I would like to be, we have to reconcile the words of Jesus. We will always have wars and rumors of wars. Until Christ return, that is the hand we are dealt. So then how do we handle this tragic situation?
