As humanity we are tired OF ALL cruelty inflicted upon US

As humanity we are tired OF ALL cruelty inflicted upon US

There is an old African proverb: 'When the elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.'

We can interpret this as when powerful forces go to war, it is always the people who suffer the affects. Those who had nothing to do with the elephants’ war, are the ones killed, injured, and have their lives torn apart.

The relentless cruelty in all parts of the world inflicted upon fellow beings have severed into the souls of humanity a collective exhaustion. From the blood-soaked streets of Gaza to the shattered lives of people in Syria and Sudan, the tragedies unfold as stark reminders of our FAILURE to foster peace, compassion, and understanding.

In Gaza, the cycle of violence perpetuates a harrowing tale of despair for both Palestinians and Israelis, for all of us. The continual clashes, the loss of innocent lives, bombing of hospitals, targeting healthcare workers and the ruins left behind serve as a scary reality to the unyielding horrors of conflict. The toll on the human spirit, the trauma etched upon the souls of children who should be playing with peers rather than seeking survival, underscores the tragic cost of wars.

At the heart of it all is the incapability of full-grown adults to sit around a table and TALK.

Syria stands as a witness to the devastation inflicted upon a nation torn asunder. The killing, injuring and displacement of millions, the destruction of cities, and the erasure of livelihoods speak volumes about the catastrophic toll of unchecked aggression. The cries of the displaced, the wounded, and the bereaved reverberate through the corridors of history as a haunting reminder of our collective inability to prioritize peace over power.

AND, as always, we did not learn from Syria. Instead of pouring water to the fire, with Gaza and Sudan we started to flood the fire with gasoline…

Sudan sadly only reiterates our failure as humans, with the war, political unrest and humanitarian crises taking toll on millions. People are losing their lives, having to flee their lands and being treats as the grass under the elephants’ feet. All these paints a vivid picture of suffering exacerbated by the absence of empathy and any sense of humanity. The hunger, the plight of refugees, and the systemic challenges faced by its people depict a blunt reality often overlooked by the world.

These conflicts are not isolated incidents but rather symptoms of a deeper malaise that afflicts our global community. They mirror our collective failure to transcend differences, to embrace empathy over apathy, and to choose dialogue over destruction. It is growingly starting to resemble the “state of nature” described by the many social contract theorists as the darkest imaginable moment in human history.

We stand fatigued, not merely from the physical ravages of war but from the erosion of our collective humanity.

The fatigue stems from witnessing the perpetuation of cycles that breed only suffering, from feeling the weight of empathy that often seems absent in the face of political agendas of the giant elephants who dance and people at the bottom suffer. We need to end this vicious cycle of evil that breeds from differences. We are all different but the same.

We need to call and demands from our leaders to prioritize diplomacy over dominance, for societies to embrace diversity and empathy, and for individuals to cultivate understanding in place of intolerance. The global community is yearning for a world where the scars of conflict give way to the healing touch of peace, where hunger is replaced by abundance, and empathy reigns supreme over indifference.

A world where we can ACTUALLY call ourselves civilized, because right now if an alien specie was watching us from the heavens, they would probably think that we are barbarians.
