To whom it may concern,
We have all heard about war
since we were little. So have I, too. My parents and my grandparent told
me about it and I have always been afraid of wars. I personally don’t
like war and warriors at all, even if I find them in stories, books,
movies, music or history…
Now, I hear about war all day long! At
school, the boys are scared that it will be necessary to have to learn
how to protect our country, our teachers discuss with us about possible
consequences of this moment, of possibly being involved in a war, women
are terrified because they don’t wanna lose their husbands, sons,
brothers, friends… It is not how it is supposed to be in the world!!!
I
can only imagine how war is and I’m really frightened about it. I can
say I’m a dreamer, so I have a loooot of plans for my future and I can’t
figure it out in such circumstances. I wish I could finish my studies,
keep the relationships with my friends, go to the university, have a
career, make my parents proud of me, make a family, a beautiful one,
have children, grow them safely and have a peaceful, calm and happy
life.
I think some of those future plans are universal, so I
believe that each of us would like to have at least one of these and
doesn’t comply to losing it. So let’s think about it… Is it the conflict
between countries and the ambition of their leaders prior to the
welfare of their citizens? Is this all about pride above freedom? Is it
about the fear beyond the people’s smiles? Is war better than peace? Who
answers positively at those questions must be insane!
I really
don’t wanna replace the positive aspects of my life and our lives, too,
with negative ones. I don’t want to turn hope into fear, happiness into
anxiety, calm and silence into stress, smile into tears and peace into
war.
After years, I wish I would breathe with relief. I also
dream that when I re-read this letter I will smile and I will be happy
to find that none of my plans was destroyed and I am still implementing
them and counting awesome moments of life. Peace!
With concern, but hope,
Ramona
