Nowadays, many people use their phones to watch the news, and sometimes they see pictures and videos of war.

zhè xiē这些huà miàn画面hěnzhēn shí真实hěnkě pà可怕

These images are very real and also very scary.

yǒuderénzhè xiē这些zhàn zhēng战争detú piàn图片zuò chéng做成wǎng luò网络xiào huà笑话shèn zhì甚至dàng zuò当作yú lè娱乐

Some people turn these war images into internet jokes, even treating them as entertainment.

qí shí其实rén lèi人类hěnzǎoyǐ qián以前jiùxǐ huān喜欢kànbié rén别人dǎ dòu打斗bǐ rú比如gǔ luó mǎ古罗马dedòu shòu chǎng斗兽场

In fact, humans have liked watching fights since long ago, such as in the ancient Roman Colosseum.

xiàn zài现在suī rán虽然méi yǒu没有dòu shòu chǎng斗兽场ledànwǒ men我们hái shì还是xǐ huān喜欢kànwǒ men我们zhè biān这边yíngdí rén敌人shòu shāng受伤

Although there are no more colosseums now, we still like to see 'our side' win and the 'enemy' get hurt.

hěnduōshí hòu时候wǒ men我们wàng jì忘记lezhàn zhēng战争zhōngshòu shāng受伤deshìpǔ tōng rén普通人bǐ rú比如hái zi孩子lǎo rén老人

Many times, we forget that those injured in war are also ordinary people, like children and the elderly.

wǒ men我们cóng xiǎo从小jiùbèijiào dǎo教导fēn chéng分成bù tóng不同deqún tǐ群体bǐ rú比如guó jiā国家zōng jiào宗教huò zhě或者mín zú民族zhèràngwǒ men我们gèngróng yì容易jué de觉得tā men他们shìdí rén敌人

From a young age, we are taught to divide into different groups, such as countries, religions, or ethnicities, which makes it easier to see 'them' as enemies.

xué xiào学校wǒ men我们xuéhěnduōzhī shí知识dànhěnshǎoxuézěn me怎么guān xīn关心bié rén别人

At school, we learn a lot of knowledge, but rarely learn how to care for others.

qí shí其实rú guǒ如果wǒ men我们duōxuéyī xiē一些guān yú关于hé píng和平lǐ jiě理解dezhī shí知识shì jiè世界huìgènghǎo

Actually, if we learn more about peace and understanding, the world would be better.

We should learn to distinguish real news from fake news, and also be brave to face the violent thoughts inside ourselves.

zhǐ yǒu只有zhè yàng这样wǒ men我们cái néng才能ràngshì jiè世界biàn dé变得gènghé píng和平bù zài不再zhǐ shì只是kànbié rén别人shòu kǔ受苦

Only in this way can we make the world more peaceful and stop just watching others suffer.
