"Man And Weapons" by Shoaib Kiani

                                                                        

History of man started when Adam and his wife were sent on the Earth. They were not having any thing with them to survive. They searched food and started their journey of life. With the passage of time their family enhanced. Children of Adam were facing so many problems on the earth. Like food and Safe shelter. Less or more food was available but the safe place to live was a big issue. Because earth is containing trillions of living creations in it, wild beasts were a big problem for them. That time man was the food for the animals. There was no concept of Nationalism, Boundaries, Extremism, Poverty, Capitalism, Feudalism, Religions and Sects, Politics, Wealth, Gold, Money. Only thing about which man was worried, it was “how to survive?”

In very initial stage man climbed up the trees or thrown stones over the beasts when he found them around himself.  With the passage of time he used the wooden sticks to defend beasts. The sons of Adam dug up the earth and found Iron. They melt it and covered the edges of these wooden sticks with iron. At that time "man and weapon" started their journey. They further melt Iron in Swords and axes. This was the time when the most superior creation of God became safe to live and grow on the planet.

Those weapons protected the human being. Man enhanced his generations. His later generations made the animals their food by hunting them with the help of those weapons. Now the man became the danger for the animals and beasts. It was the time when the proudly surviving man diverted his concentration to the taste of life. He started enjoying the comfort of nature. He started concentrating on his wishes. Those wishes were initially small as those wishes grown up, the struggle of man to make them true also improved.

Most superior and power full creation of Allah started snatching material from their brothers. When one resisted second killed him with the weapons. So the weapon that was made for protection of life started being used to snatch the wishes.  When man became the target of “man and weapons” what happened to beasts? Thousand of them disappeared due to unlimited killing. Remaining were caught and putted in ZOO’s to entertain the holy man. I think soul of a martyred beast entered in the heart of man at that stage of human evolution. And he started acting like beasts.

Now the only target of "man and weapon" itself. Interesting thing at this stage was the up gradation of weapons. Both “man and weapons” has almost same trends and times of evolution. Battles among the sons of Adam, at starting were only for wealth and desires but with the passage of time the reasons of fight changed. Religions came to the people to define good and bad the fights between good and bad were on the extreme when world saw “ISM’s”  the thoughts like barbarism, nationalism, socialism, feudalism, capitalism, extremism, fundamentalism we have thousands of ISM’s today. At that stage world saw the revolution of weapons in 19^th and 20^th century. In these two centuries “man and weapons” recorded two world wars. Swords and axes were replaced with guns, tanks, and rockets. These weapons killed bullions of people in two centuries.

 In 1922 a new reason of fight was discovered the “country” when the borders and passports were defined. Amazing fact is that this reason for war was much solid than any previous. Two people with same religion and same “ISM” started fight because they were living in different countries. The past century gifted us latest version of weapons “the atom bombs”. A few tons weighted missile kills millions of people within few seconds.

 Stockholm International Peace Research Institute says $1,531bn spent globally on military and weapons in 2009 by 196 countries. While more than half of the world’s population is below the poverty line. Millions of Adam’s Holy sons are dying with hunger yearly. Pakistan is in the list of LDC’s (Less Developed Countries) according to World Bank it is spending more than 3% of its GDP on defense. Trillions of $ and millions of people have been wasted yet on wars against India that has more than 300 million of its population with Pakistani religion and “ISM”. I don’t know what this fight is for? Power? Religion? Resources? Human rights? Any kind of “ISM”? Or the "psychological sickness" left by great white rulers while leaving the continent. I think the last one is the only reason.

Governments and thousands of organizations are working for the protection of wild beasts from “man and weapons”. No one is there to protect man’s own siblings and sons from “man and weapons”. I don’t know how much both “man and weapons” have to develop further? What is the level of their desired power and satisfaction?  Economists, sociologists, scientists everyone is crying that “man and weapons” are destroying the weather, economy, planet and next generations. But the beast living inside the man is not being satisfied.

Imagine what is going to be the extreme of evolution of “man and weapons”. I think there is no end until both of “man and weapon” disappear with the destruction of the planet. We are not so much late it is still possible to solve every problem that humanity is facing across the globe. If we convert “ARMY” into “ADMY” (the man). If we produce “FOOD” instead of “GUN”. If we fight “for the man” not “with the man”. If we move the poverty line down instead of expanding borders of state. If we bane the killing of man same as we made law about the hunting of black deer, white lions and blind dolphins. If we involve our manpower (recruited in military), to fight to enhance “line of life” instead of fighting for expansion of “line of control” and border lines. If we make the state weapons free same as we made it Investment free. If we concentrate on making relations with neighbors like India, Afghanistan, Iran and China instead of going to the other side of globe (USA, UK) for friendship. We should import aircraft for the betterment of PIA instead of importing F-16 for war. There is no barrier in our growth and safety.

I am scared, if “man and weapons” remain growing and remain together, they will destroy the planet and humanity.
