A Mother’s Wishlist: Peace, Plenty and Understanding

I rejoiced on my fifth Mother’s Day some time back, and we as a family, had the goal to have a wonderful time doing fun things together the whole day. I was very satisfied with the day and the gift made by my son, but in the evening while watching  news I heard many interviews of mothers from different backgrounds and wondered what the world will be like if all the mothers were given the chance to manage the world. I don’t feel happiness any longer and have a wish list which I want to see coming true.

The top of any Mothers wish list will be peace, and even when my son is just five years old I have suffered a lot by sending darling nephews to the war and can’t even picture sending my child to the war zone. There is no other who likes that and if mothers were to make the policies of the world, there would be fewer wars. There are not too many who want a war but if women who also give their lives had a say then I feel there goal will be less of bloodshed.

With the need for more there is a wish for peace. With the wealth of the world being divided unequally, has led to a number of issues. There is very little hope for people to accomplish as well as a regular struggle to manage the fundamental requirements of life and people are driven to extremes without happiness. The world has enough food as well as other resources for everyone. With the development in technology there is a lot of advancement in health care. Still there are mothers who are not able to offer home, food, clothing, care and safety for their children.

With understanding one can solve the conflict in the wishes. There is more in common amongst mothers in terms of experiences and what they want than the difference in beliefs and culture. We could be praying anywhere to any god we all wish for the same things and have similar hopes and fears for our kids.  There is a very basic human bond which could be the foundation. There have been a number of wars and conflicts just because we have not been able to understand each other. We would be able to get peace if we could find methods to bridge the misunderstandings. With better understanding, there is more tolerance and happiness amongst people. 

These are the three wishes as three is a paranormal number and if many mothers have the same wishes, they may come true and bring happiness. I wish that all there will be more peace and happiness in my upcoming Mothers Days with less intolerance, war and wants.
