I wrote this text at october 9th 2016, but I may as well have written it yesterday - it is right on point for what is going on in this world right now ...
So that's why I have published it once again .-------------------------------------------------
Every morning I wake up to a world, where somewhere someone is battling for her or his life, where people are killed at this very moment.
Every evening, when I am ready to go to bed, somewhere someone just lost not only the safety of her home, but also someone she loved and cared and never be able to see them again.
WHY??
What for?
Why are people being killed?
By whom?
When does it stop? Does it stop? Ever?
Has the world become mad?
What is happening to us, as a species? What makes us behave like this, hurting others, killing and torturing?
What creates these monsters?
Do we all have a gene, which could make each and every one of us turned out to be evil? Does one born to be evil or does it happen later in life?
If it happens later, what can possibly make someone from a kind person to suddenly become so vicious, so venomous?
As long as I remember, from my very early childhood memories, there were always people in war somewhere in this planet.
And when the school started, and the history, that was also filled with wars.
Something, however was different at those wars in ancient history.
Back then, the leaders, the commanders, they were in the frontline themselves.
Now, the leaders of great nations, sit with their business suits on, and press the buttons, making someone else doing the dirty work for them.
Now, nobody cares of the casualties, the innocent people are just called collateral damage, just numbers, no names, no faces.
Are we all just pawns on this giant casino, where certain people play all or nothing, no matter what the cost?
Let's get back from the battlefields for now.
Do you know your market value?
Do you know how much you are worth?
It is painful to see, how the government values us all, and they do it by cold hard numbers.
And it has become painfully clear, that we are just merchandise, we are disposable.
You only need to observe, how our senior citizens are treated and cared for by politicians.
"Thank you for your services, but you are no longer beneficial to us, you are a cost and liability".
That is the message, loud and clear, and all the decisions what have been made, and all the cuts from the budget ,what has been done and will be done, tells the truth.
It is there for all of us to see, and it screams out loud:
If you are no certain value to us, you are disposable!!
So it has come to this.
In the land, where we are encouraged to be more environmentally friendly, we are still wasting a LOT of great natural resources, we are wasting human lives.
Man can make power from water and sun, why we throw away so much skills, creative minds, talents, ideas???
It is unbearable and short minded with a recipe for disaster.
Talking about sustainable development, eh?
So, have you given it a thought?
What is your market value? And is the number equal with the other number: What are you worth?
And in the end - which is more important to you?
Are you for sale, if the price is right?
Or do we still have a tiny chance here,for better future?
The more this planet has people, whose values of honesty and decency, are not for sale, not for any price, the better chance we have for more peaceful future.
Live and let live❤
