Responsibility of world leaders






Every person dying or hurt due to terrorism is responsibility of world leaders. Every such death is murder, cold blooded murder. And the blame goes to world leaders who are not doing enough to stop this and those who are directly or indirectly supporting it.

How often we hear world leaders saying that they will do what is in the interest of their nation.

May be they are showing their spirit of nationalism by this. But they do not realize humanity must survive first, then nations can live peacefully.

World today is seeing conflicts because of disorder in priorities. National interests have become more important than interests of humanity. Result - we have wars, terrorism and lack of cooperation on important humanity issues like environment.

Leaders taking care of own nation is good but it should not be at the cost of human values and principles. World leaders must first accept responsibility towards humanity. Only then they can be called true leaders. If they do so, United Nations will automatically become more meaningful in solving issues faced by world. We can then create a world peaceful, safe and with better life for all.

Then why this is not so? Reason is simple. Shortsighted selfishness. Some leaders and nations believe that by acting selfish they are gaining edge over others. In fact this concept of 'we and others' is the root cause of all major problems. World has now become global and countries can not remain in such fragmented state. When humanity suffers, everyone one will suffer sooner or later. World leaders must understand and respect this. One must prove worthy of high position and power. World leaders must not let down humanity because sometimes it becomes too late to amend.
