Apart from On Behalf of Mr. Spock

April 23, 2014

Spock: For the Impact Generation to be able to handle a hurt planet that will be inhabited by elders, children, sick and poor people… the funnel, it is needed that their parents stop destroying and start building now.

Kirk: Building? What?

Spock: Survival, captain. They have to start building a healthy senior generation, a healthy and brilliant Impact Generation, and what is needed to face the planet’s winds of change. The first requirement to do that is peace. But peace on Earth, captain, is a word which use and overuse has loaded it with a variety of meanings while leaving behind its most practical sense. The word itself has lost the capacity to enlighten its most vital meaning, which is that it actually permits both parties to live and thrive. It will certainly be an advantage in the years to come. Communities that have not been at war will obviously be in better conditions and more prepared. When unbending cosmic laws get added to the present world critical situation the weakest will be the more vulnerable.

Kirk: You are right Spock, communities diminished by war, whether it takes place at home or abroad, will be in disadvantage.

Spock: I say weak, captain, not in terms of men fallen in battle, but in terms of time wasted to prepare themselves to the days to come. To argue that weapons industry feeds the economy with millions of money is a suicidal approach that puts in doubt Human reasoning. Beginning a war is as disastrous as loosing it. Precious time, resources and efforts are lost for all. Peace on Earth should be for Humans now a pragmatic survival decision. What they do not do now to build strong communities is lost for the future. They will have to choose where they are going to invest their time, money and lives. In fact, captain, peace on Earth is no longer a concession men make to life. It is life. /Silvia Davila Morales (c)
