GLAIDIATORE

Thousands of gladiators have died. The ruthless bloodthirsty Emperor is back once again.

Yes, people are always sheep. It is history, and never will that change.

We need a gladiator. He, too, will die, but will leave away a better Rome.

Today we need one more gladiator to sow the seed of humane in each and every individual. Yes, it needs to be implanted - people are always sheep. Then there shall be no gladiator ever sought.

The gladiator too had his family. Who will bring back his child and wife; they were murdered by the Emperor. He has to die, to be back with his child and wife.

This is the kind of world we want to leave for our future generations?
No.
We have so much of knowledge, and our daughters and sons will be wiser?
No, not.

Taliban is the answer.
September 11 is the answer.
Strengthening of Military is the answer.

No, not.
At least I think not.

Why, then why is it that we are afraid of ourselves?
Why do we ever need a Military?

Yes, because we need to protect ourselves.
From whom?
Our own brothers and sisters.
Why?
Because we no more have trust.

And we will continue to be gladiators in one way or other. A different one, gladiators who are sworn to die for their country - the ones whom people rejoice after victory.

Unless you and I realize, wake up from the long sleep in ignorance, drop the guns will bring into being a peaceful world. That would be the kind of world I would like to talk about to my daughter.
