Day 008 IS abducted 400 people from a city in Syria

News item from the Economist Espresso

The world is never a place of complete peace. When we are pondering over the famous question raised by Shakespeare - to be or not to be, there're loads of people out there trying to escape from the hand of another human being or the miscellaneous kinds of cold war machines.

I am a man of language and translation which makes news items one of my practice routines. I always manage to get myself to the other side of the Great Fire Wall and scavange all kinds of fresh news in English out there. One of my favorite topic of news is the chaos in Middle East.  To be more specific, it's about ISIS. I believe that people do things out of certain purposes and goals, however, I couldn't find legitimate reasons for those terrorists to justify the evil things they've repeatedly and shamelessly done over the years.

9/11, Paris attack, all of which are the glaring evidence of the darkness and stupidities of mankind. War may advance technology and economy to some extent, nonetheless, it do no good at all to the development of humanity and philanthropy, causing nothing but meaningless loss, a total waste of precious resources of both human ones  and natural ones.

I suppose that no one can predict the end of a war because it's something beyond everyone's  power. The end of it is manipulated by the millions of people's greed and appetite. As long as there's one man who's hungry, unsatisfied and in need of more blood and territory to show off his prowess, there won't be such a thing as 100% congenial peace.

After all, the perfect peace shouldn't exist in the world at all for the very nature of every individual.

Sometimes, we're just jokes of this majestic cosmos.
