Peaceful times - NaPoWriMo Day 8

Historians tell me, 

It's a great time to be alive

Not as many wars as in past. 

But is absence of darkness presence of light? 

Do human die only at battlefields? 

What about poverty and hunger, 

Disease and depression, 

And are we going to talk about quality of life? 

How one human treats another, 

Why wealth accumulation is so emphasised? 

Are the uncertainties of modern life any less? 

Are the dangers to planet not alarming enough? 

Where is the peace as humanity suffers, 

Only the source differs.

''Why do you ask me about what has happened in my past? Shouldn't we all be focussing on the present movement?''' She asked me.
''Our past is a source to our present. Like a doctor wants to know the past symptoms to diagnose the disease. Like we know India has been under colonial rule to know it's political scenario.  Like we know an apple tree will give apples and mango tree will give mangoes.''
''But I want to forget the bitter things about my past.''
''Yiou cannot forget them. You have to let it not affect you. Remember it from while to while and see how less it affects you each time.''
She shared her disgusting experience.
