Do we deserve all this? I think not.
Unfortunately, for years now, our world has been on a downward slope. We’re talking here about the most recent events, covid-19 and then the death of that poor man in the US. Our world needs to evolve. And, we are not talking here about a world that’s changing and mutating. All these events remind us that life holds to a thread and leads us to see the cruelty of humans.
All this could have been avoided. The pandemic as well as the atrocious death that is currently triggering riots.
Now, more than ever, we must stick together. Support starts with a message, a call, even the smallest thing such as getting in touch to find out how someone is. Posting a link, a publication to denounce something wrong are also the beginnings of this mutual aid.
More than ever, the world needs this global and international mutual aid. Starting from now, attitudes towards people who are ‘different’ must change: this is obvious. It’s up to us to do most of the work. I am a young person after all, but I have a say in this. It’s our short and long-term future as well as our children’s lives that’s at stake.
We owe it to ourselves to be examples for future generations. What happens today must not happen again tomorrow.
