War and Hunger

Sometimes I feel some uninvited moral pain, when I look at this troubled world. It has no true justice and fairness. Humans are technologically quite advanced but spiritually still so primitive. Approximately 950 million people or 14% of the world population suffer from hunger or undernourishment. Many simply do not have money to buy food. How can you live on an income of a dollar or two a day ? Yet, we have plenty of money to spend, to create bullets and bombs, and killing machines, to go to war and keep killing one another. Why don't we spend money on feeding the hungry and helping the poor instead ? Burn all the national flags. Everyone, let's create only one flag: EARTH.
