Where is the love?

What has happened to the world? Our daily news always consists of words such as war, attacks, bombs, massacre, fights, murders etc. I quote one of the songs that the famous group Black eyed Peas wrote for a couple of years ago namely “Where is the love?”

It is true and everyone knows it. We live in a difficult time where many people around the world are forced to live under horrifying circumstances. I am talking about the innocent children living in countries such as Afghanistan where all they can hear daily is the bombs falling down in their cities, destroying their houses, hospitals, schools and other important buildings.

The question is, what can we ordinary people do? I wish I had the answer to that one. All I can think of is one of the sayings in the Bible, namely that we should treat another person the way we want to be treated by them. If everyone would do that perhaps we wouldn’t have so many discussions and countries wouldn’t have to go to war and kill thousands of innocent people?

This is the issue in a big scale. But I am happy that we have good politicians that are dealing with these kinds of issues and that they also are trying to come up with solutions to be able to decrease the amounts of negative news that we have to listen to every day. We all share the same amount of responsibility as human beings towards ourselves but also to other factors such as the planet we are living on. While people are suffering one can say that they are not the only ones having a difficult time, the nature and its wide range of animals and other organisms have also been forced to live under catastrophic circumstances.

This debate could go on for ever. Although all I wanted was to express my thoughts and how I see this whole situation that we’re all going through right now. My thoughts are with the children and their families who are living in the countries where the war is still going on. But also with the people who are working to inform other people about how much we are damaging our planet and the beautiful nature we have been blessed to have by having mass productions etc. Politicians such as Al Gore are taking the next step forward to inform us ordinary people about what is really going on in our climate zones etc. So if you haven’t seen the movie Al Gore directed “An Inconvenient Truth” then I strongly recommend to – see it!
