Very very very very long before our great great grandparents were even born, people had been fighting for world peace. They fight for Human Rights and Animal Rights until today's Gay Rights. These fighters are so firm and passionate of their stand that they shout to the world how wrong the others are for not accepting what they believe is right.
Yet peace doesn't seem achievable. Peace costs war. When Muslims and Christians in Mindanao respectively believe that the banishment of the other would result into peace, violence occurs. When America gets rid of the terrorists for peace, war is the means. One cannot say that his stand is the most right, for while you fight against discrimination, you discriminate also the racists. When you fight for animal rights, you take away those ladies in fur coats' human rights when you humiliate them and call them names. When you accuse gays of being evil, see who's got demonic actions inhumanly hurting feelings.
And when Philippines fought for freedom and independence our government becomes a great cosplay where we play pretend that we've got system when the reality's all behind the stage curtain. Fighting's ineffectve. It's just noise, which while we're busy making of, some people take advantage in quietude. If no people give so much fuzz and rally about animals, animal skin won't be that exciting to wear. If it's not that dangerous and rare to produce, it would cease to be an exclusive apparel thus won't be pricey which the celebs won't care to purchase anymore. If you desire homosexuality to be acceptable in the society, then don't show your angry gay faces and ready to rumble gay supporters. Show the world your true capability of blending in and functioning well and normally in the society, that you can do what you claim you can like getting married happily and raising amazing families. If independence is what you struggle for, present yourself responsible. You do not fight if peace is what you desire; you do not spite if discrimination is what you are against; you do not demean if respect is what you want to earn; you do not dictate if freedom is your dream, you do not hate if it's love you promote. You do not fight for peace, no, not at all.
