Mankind will soon find out that it is less expensive to live in peace than in war.
We will soon discover that life on earth will be more beautiful when we live in peace than in war, when human beings across frontiers coexist in peace rather than in a state of perpetual conflict, of perpetual war.
That it is easier to manage peace than sustain war, to fund peace rather than war.
We will soon discover regretfully that the humongous wealth, running into hundreds of billions of dollars being spent, wasted yearly everywhere on earth on funding expensive researches on production, amassing and maintaining weapons of mass destruction; on sowing, nourishing and spreading thoughts, words and deeds of conflict on earth; on maintaining unusually large armies running into hundreds of millions of human heads; on the lucrative international trading in arms and ammunition; on expanding the lucrative business across frontiers; on instigating conflicts, wars and mass destruction of human beings and every living thing on earth; on endangering further the earth by opening it increasingly to harmful radiations and strange ailments from the cosmos and even from the Beyond, is better spent on promoting peace and up-building; rather than destruction which has hitherto prevailed.
We will soon discover how to joyfully use science to drive true development, peace and up-building.
That the humongous resources we were using to fund hostilities must now be channeled to positive production line to combat the mass hunger, poverty, misery, squalor and diseases in which the majority of the almost 8 billion human beings on earth today wallow; to up-build and develop the earth into a realm flourishing in peace and harmony, in true love.
