Unending War
of Pakistan rose to the occasion. Consequently, Pakistan’s
hatred for India continued. It is for this reason that it has been
involved in many negative activities against India. The result of
these military engagements is that Pakistan has turned
into a failed state.
It often happens among nations that war and violence break
out. At such times, the groups at war are not able to turn their
negative thinking into positive thinking by themselves. They
cannot on their own abandon the path of violence in favour of
the path of peace. What is needed at that time is that a third
party should work to cool down their feelings of animosity and
try to develop positive thinking in them. If there were people
who could play such a role, then those at war could be brought
back to the path of peace. But if no such attempt is made, then
violence between the two groups goes on endlessly. This cycle
of violence often does not end until both sides, in the process,
completely annihilate each other, which is hardly the optimal
way to end hostilities.
