After studying and travelling for almost three years in Europe and other Arab countries, I come to the point that wherever I go, I see/face the same, the same people, the same feelings, the same vision for better future, the same cry of babies, worries of Mothers for their sons, longing for peace and happiness, but on top and despite all these factors, we seem to be led against our own will. Unconsciously though.
How come? How come young people not wanting to go to war, to kill another man, father, someones brother, stil goes for it? Why would someone kill without knowing whom is he killing and how the fate of that man affects larger group of people behind the scenes and fields of war?
How come, we have created such a system of governing our life that wecant do anything about? How come do we Claim Democracy when there is no democracy? We are supposed to be smart species of this planet but alas, we seem to be very self-destructive.
I observe the development of my own country, of my own neighbourhood and society. My God, it is terible to imagine what we are going for. Total Mechanistic values driven by the current economic system.
I see our tradition values of sharing tie with the other, of caring, help and just a easy life - shading away. Giving way to the dominating economy that forces everyone to rush, to worry for tomorrows day, to be away from his/herself, family and always be nervous.
What is it brining?
I hear our Government officials talk of Sustainable Development, Wellbeing of the societ - meanwhile allowing IMF, WorldBank, McDonalds and othet International Corporations penetrate the lives of people and painfull shall be the consequences of all that. How to reach the ears and mind of them - I dont know.
Few become rich and they take it as an Indicator of Growth and economic stability, they Build Big palaces, Hotels and Shppoing malls - claiming we are Developing - while on the other side of the stret there are women, old women and kids siting and begging..what apicture of Growth is that? It has become soo technical....
It was just my thoughts and reflections on what is happening in my country and the typical case in many othercountries.
I hope, I strive and do my best to raise the awartness of at least very samll group of people, to share this thughts, and You, dear Reader of mine, may also think about it and give your thoguths.
