No victims no perpetrators

Description

“Nuclear bombs ushered in an era of nonviolence,” yet human minds still live in an age of violence. This profound contradiction between the realities of the situation and the prevailing mindset is the terror that haunts humanity.”

Many ideologies are based on the idea that thousands must die so that millions may live in peace, based on the principle that the ends justify the means. In these essays, Albert Camus attempts to expose this deception and obfuscation, based on the principle that one crime cannot be justified by another. Camus lived through two world wars, the occupation of his country, and civil wars in various places. He also witnessed the preparations on all sides for a third world war, which nearly erupted after Khrushchev secretly smuggled a number of nuclear warheads to Cuba in the 1960s to destroy the United States, in what became known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. He personally witnessed the brutality of war, which people seem unable to live without despite its enormous costs. The victims accumulate, and the perpetrators multiply in every war. According to Camus, a new world order is necessary, with a global legislative body possessing executive power on a global scale. In simpler terms, democracy must transcend the nations of the world, and all the peoples of the world must elect a new world parliament as the only solution to the age of fear and terror in which we live, as the only way to escape the cycle of victims. The executioners who ravaged Europe during that dark period.
