"The wars will continue while the color remains more important than
the eye."
Bob Marley
This quote was written by Bob Marley and to understand it we have to
know a little bit of his life. Marley was a musician with a Rastafarian tendency.
What he believed was what he believed, not necessary in a god or a power from beyond;
it can be just in faith, in a natural mystic, or his own people. He believed in
humanity, that the present is the most important and we have to stop problems,
fights, wars and make peace, love, to get together as one and not many all-around
in the world. Everybody has the right to everything and no one is superior to
others. This quote is divided in 2: the part of “the wars will continue while
the color remains more important…” and “…more important than the eye”. By just
looking at it, it is easy to understand it; but there is more in each sentence.
The first part doesn’t refer to the color of the skin; it refers to
discrimination in general: color of the skin, religion, size of the body,
country, gender, intelligence, etc. People is discriminated of what anything,
not matter if you are “perfect”, somebody will find something for you. The
second part doesn´t refer to the color of the eye; it refers to what is inside
of a person, of their personality, attitude, who they really are; everybody has
a story and everybody has problems; and the rest of the people got to
understand it because they all want to be understood. The general idea is no
matter the differences of one and the other: they are human; no matter if one
is Jew and the other Mussulmen: they are humans (even brothers); no matter if
white skin or black skin: they are humans; no matter religion: they are humans;
no matter if tall or low: they are human; no matter if ill o normal: they are
human; we all are humans and we are the same; they key word to live in peace is
HUMANITY.
I am a man of peace, I am pacifist and I don’t like wars. I think I have
the same idea as Bob Marley, I´m not sure because his mind was so complex and
nobody will ever understand it. For me discrimination is the worst weapon
someone could carry, but we all carry it and do not let it go. Wars will be all
the time, countries against countries, religions against religions, women
against men, etc. The second part of the quote also says that he has faith in
humanity, and I have faith in it; and I will never stop fighting as Marley did,
as this quote relates. I don’t hate people who discriminate others but I have
faith that someday they will change. I try not to discriminate and I try to
stop wars by feeling that your eyes are more important that whatever is against
you.
