Today is ceremonial commemoration of the day when a 4,633 kg of big bullet enriched with massive atomic energy was dropped on the Nagasaki city 66 years ago. That was the climax of shameful episodes of war that is recorded in the history of human civilisation. Thousands of people were murdered in just a few seconds and thousands of survivors were severely injured that can not be healed for the rest of their life.

I was came late because I have a class that I have to attend. The ceremony is ended already. I just see so many tourists walking and taking pictures of the dancing fountain and the silent statues. I am trying to find what is possibly exist in their mind at the moment but I know I can’t. I am afraid this ceremony is only festive ritual with some speeches and thousands colourful origami. As soon as we leave this peaceful park, all wisdoms that we collected from this tragedy were being forgotten.

More than this, we need to contemplate to have a deeper insight about our life from the smallest scale as an individual until the biggest scale as a part of world society. Through this peaceful commemoration we probably need to say louder to the cartel of mass media and insist harder to the oligarchy regimes to stop spreading distrust and prejudice among peoples. So we do not need to spend our limited resources to build more expensive massive scale weapons to make people kills each other.

It is almost 18:00 AM, I have to go back to a party.
