Dreams of Peace

By Jogi Dhillon

It is but natural for all humans to have dreams. However, some build castles in the air, and some harness their dreams to jostle others mind-sets with a view to catapult the cause of common good to new heights. The latter is what Jogi Dhillon does in his new book.

While traversing through Asia, Europe, and America, Jogi Dhillon has had firsthand experience of envious, vengeful, greedy, hateful, and selfish conduct at all levelsbe it social, cultural, ethical, religious, or political. This has affected his perceptive mind, and he feels that the present generation seems to be oblivious of the truth that world peace is being threatened by its less than considered decisions. He is warning us that the world is going a wrong way and course correction is imperative. He reinforces his arguments to coax us to redefine our notions even at the cost of repetition. Being a simple man, Jogi Dhillon suggests ridiculously simple solutions for various problems. If his effort stirs someones soul, his aim would be more than achieved.

Jogi Dhillon

I am not a well-educated person, a political person, or a religious leader. But I am a normal labor-class person who thinks about world peace and tense world situations all the time. Innocent people are dying, becoming homeless, and are not able to lead peaceful lives. This bothers me enough to write down my feelings and the feelings of others. Alexander the Great faced terrible situations around the world and tried winning the world with a sword. He didn’t succeed, but still, people called him great. On the other hand, Ghandi won the world to call America America the Great. World leaders and innocent people compelled me to write down my feelings and those of others.

DREAM 1

God created the Earth, Trees, Flowers, herbs and living beings both big and small after many millenniums, because of His unbound mercy and man had developed along with all these. God also created many kinds of diseases which afflict all vegetation, animals, and human beings according to their destiny.

Over the centuries the mankind has been able to find the cure for many diseases, but it has been unable to find a cure for the affliction which afflicts the Mankind the most on the Earth: which is called ENVY (the root cause of any war and no living beings are free of its manifestation).

The scientists of the world have produced and created huge wherewithal for the pleasure and convenience of human beings and for its wars. Science and technology have produced powerful instruments which can destroy the world in a wink of an eye, but no one is trying to treat the war as a dreaded disease. If someone has attempted it, no one seems to have cared about its consequences. Obviously, their thinking seems to be misdirected. There does not seem to be any effective body to establish and retain peace in the world.

Educational curricula are void of any programs related to establishment of peace and tranquility in the world. No incentives or awards are given to encourage people to find a lasting solution to the disease of war. It is evident that no one seems to be interested in the concept of peace in the world. Whatever we see in the media is mostly the thought process of the government policy in different words.

The leaders of all sorts who are responsible for establishing peace are themselves afflicted with the virus of hate and envy, which they spread among their followers with impunity. As such they are incapable of making any positive move towards establishment of peace in the world.

The moment they begin to think about peace, the peace process is shattered somewhere in the world. War has always beaten peace.

There is paradox in the world of today. Those who propagate war enjoy a life of comfort, even luxury and the common man is subjected to its ravages. The world can be compared to a human body. All the nations are its organs, and every organ has some kind of disease contributing towards nations to wage different kinds of wars like religious wars, wars for freedom, political wars, and wars for power. Today humanity is suffering from this incurable cancer. That is just as the body suffering from cancer can be helped temporarily with radiation or chemotherapy, so the world too can be helped, but ultimately, can not be saved from destruction, unless the war mongering leaders are isolated and made to understand the necessity of world
