In wartime... the world stops for nothing. Not for love or peacefulness. What could stop all the violence in the world? Could it be something as simple as, a baby? Could the sight of an infant cease the fire from the "heroic" soldiers weapon?
If there is no love... in wartime then clearly there are no babies, and those who already have them keep them away from the violence. What would happen though, if one were seen? Would men finally see that too much killing has gone on? would they realize that the future is no longer in the hands of a gun or bomb, but in the hands of this infant, this baby who at this point in his life cannot utter a word? One would hope that there is enough humanity in the world for men to realize this, and to realize that the war they're fighting should never have been started.
What kind of people... would we be if we let this happen around the baby? I couldn't imagine, and I'd rather not picture it. It is hard to believe that all the world ever needed to stop their wars was a baby. A baby which here symbolizes a reason. There is never a good reason to put the world on hold in my opinion, but if the only reason we need is an infant to end all of it, that is reason enough for me to have a little more faith in the world...
