Peace and harmony

These steps remind us of the years where people fought with each other that resulted in untold stories of pain , suffering and deaths. The number of World War 1 casualties(military and civilian) was about 40 million, over 19 million deaths and 21 million wounded. (ref. Wikipedia). One would have thought that humankind would have woken up to the terrible cruelties associated with such intense conflicts. Sadly, WW II (1939-1945) considered as the deadliest conflict in human history resulted in the deaths of over 60 million people! One shudders at what the scenario would be like if humanity failed to show mutual respect to each other and took peace and harmony for granted.
