"What would happen if all wars suddenly stopped?"

- Siiri Kuusisto, 7 years old

"There are currently 61 armed wars or conflicts going on in the world.
In four of them, more than 10 000 people die every year. The most destructive battles are fought in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and the Mexican drug war.
When you add up all the deaths, about 100 000 people lose their lives in wars every year. Many times more are injured and disabled. 68.5 million people are fleeing wars in different parts of the world.
If the wars were to end now, that large group of people would preserve their lives and health and be able to return home.
If there were no wars, there would be no need for armies. Last year, the world spent more than 1 500 billion euros on military spending. That huge amount could be used more wisely. Fighting climate change, improving the status of women and educating girls would be good targets.
If the wars ended, they would only be remembered in history textbooks and museums. People would be amazed at how stupid a bunch of people were on Earth when they used so much natural resources, energy, ingenuity and time to destroy each other."

"Variations of Destruction"

"Hello everyone,

I hope you are healthy and well. I have been thinking about war lately. I read very disturbing news yesterday, for example, about Ukraine. There are widespread concerns around the world. Someone would probably say “it’s not news anymore,” but I don’t want to turn to stone and go into hiding - not that it would have been possible under any circumstances anymore.

I would like to see a day when our history would not repeat itself every time. I would like to see something new and surprising and hope that kindness and empathy will prevail.

Never lose your kindness, love and empathy wherever you roam,

Paul XO
