答案
War or peace
First of all, I’d like to make it clear that I am here speaking not as a Chinese, not as an Asian, not as a representative of any organization, but as a human being, a member of the species: Mankind, whose continued existence is in doubt. The danger of war is hidden behind what we call “peace”. The world is full of conflicts: Jews and Arabs; Indians and Pakistanis; the white and the black in Africa…
I wonder if you have ever seen any pictures of children in the Middle East. I once saw a photo showing some Palestinian children playing with guns and bombs, and earlier this month, it was reported that three Palestinian teenagers were shot dead when trying to act as “body-bombs”. I bet you were just as shocked as I was. This is not a game between adults any more, it is planting seeds of hatred into the hearts of the next generation. Our hope for the future is losing in the flames of gunfire.
Why do people fight? An English writer once described: this happened not by the will of God, not by the will of Mankind, but because some few men were afraid to be open and generous to each other. There was a spring that they knew they should not touch, and, like mischievous and nervous children, they had touched it at last, and now the world is to suffer for their mischief.
Some people might think I’m exaggerating the situation: it’s only conflict, it’s not war. But I have to remind you, throughout the history, big wars always start from small and continuous conflicts: World War 1 started from the conflict between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bosnia; World War 2 began with the clash between Germany and Czech Slovak. A war in the 20th century, as we all know, could push our civilization backward for several decades. But if a war were to happen today, just imagine these nuclear weapons, our world would not only recede, it would vanish.
Here, then, is the problem I present to you today: shall we put an end to the human race, or shall Mankind renounce war? Many people will not face this alternative because it’s so difficult to abolish war. They scarcely realize that the danger is to themselves and to their children and to their grandchildren, AND to the universal humanity. So even today, people hold the belief that as long as nuclear weapons are prohibited, conflicts may be allowed to continue. I’m afraid this hope is illusory. Whatever agreements reached without hydrogen bombs in times of peace would be nothing in times of real war. This is not the way we’re going to make peace.
War or peace, this is the question.
So far, Mankind has existed on this planet for a million years. For countless ages, the sun rose and set, the moon waxed and waned, the star shone in the night, but it was only with the coming of Man that these things were understood. We’ve established a great civilization. But is this all to end in trivial horror because so few men are able to think of Mankind rather than of themselves? Is our race so blind to the simplest dictates of self-preservation, that the last proof of our intelligence is to be the extermination of all life on our planet?
No, I do not believe this is to be the end, for we’re not separate and indifferent like the beasts. We’re Mankind. We would forget our quarrels for a moment. And if we’ll allow ourselves to survive, there is every reason to expect the victory of the future. There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom.
Now, I appeal, as a human being to human beings: remember your humanity, forget the rest. The way lies open to a new paradise. War or peace, we’ll make the right choice.
