China Flexes Muscle

Title of this post was taken from Toronto's Metro newspaper of the 2nd of October 2009 on page 15. The news report is about the Chinese celebration of sixty years of communist rule. Going by China's current economic status on the world stage, no one can dispute the fact that communism, may have been a very good choice. China is the world's third largest economy.

One of the highlights of the celebration according to the news story was a parade of a variety of weapons of mass destruction and the usual fireworks and several other events, which of course, were exclusive to the Communist party hierarchy, excluding the workers whose victory they are supposed to be celebrating.

Anyways, the only problem I find really disturbing was the display of raw power by means of the parade of the weapons of mass destruction.

It has been precisely 64 years since the end of world war II, but virtually every government on this planet celebrate an annual event of this nature the same way; military parades, display of weapons and show of power. It is true that war has been a recurring event even after world war II, but the questions is, going by the principles of the laws of attraction, isn't it time to tone down this unnecessary display of power? Everyone already knows that China is a force to be reckoned with, that the US and the Russians are a force to be reckoned with, that India is a nuclear power and that Iran in spite of its denials is secretly developing nuclear weapons.

It is no longer a secret that all nuclear powers combined possess enough nuclear bombs to wipe out the entire planet including the politicians themselves. We are living on a planet, that is just one world separated by artificial boundaries and whatever affects China is soon going to affect its neighbors and the rest of the earth.

So, what is the point of showing off these weapons. I would think a day like this should be dedicated to those who have sacrificed their lives and their families to preserve the birth of the ideal being celebrated. Technological advancement has brought us here, but our underdeveloped egos is keeping us in the stone ages. Perhaps the law of attraction is fulfilling our wishes to return to the stone ages.

States across the planet ought to start considering the application of the immutable laws of nature to their everyday affairs so as to give some real leadership and hope to the people the leaders are supposed to be serving.
