Is this the value of the human being? Passing breaking news?

And the world forgot Gaza… And he forgot about the bank… Lebanon will soon be forgotten… There is nothing new, just as Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Libya and many other places have been left suffering and drowning in their woes, challenges and crises alone. Until the spectre of death became a companion on the path of its people, and safety became like a myth absent in its cities, and services that preserve human dignity and rights are missing. Countries that are more fragile in their structure every day, in light of growing economic, security, political, ideological, intellectual, cultural and social problems that never end.

This world is dealing with people’s issues and pains in the wake of the trend; whoever kills more brutally is at the forefront. The statements and images of some politicians in this world are sometimes more popular. As for the human being. It has no value.

“A world where blood, body parts, suffering, turbid water, looted land, rubble and tents are discussed for a month… Maybe for a year… Maybe two years. We put them in front of the UN tables, and photos and news dominate social media for a while. Then what? A bigger, more noisy event is taking place, abandoning dialogue tables and conference platforms without finding real solutions, without stopping the bleeding, without a tangible impact….”

A scientist treats Elon Musk as if he is more important than a mother who lost her son to a stray bullet, or a father who cries from the bitterness of living and losing everything. It is as if Trump and his contradictory statements are more important than the lives of people who are “wronged.”

Netanyahu’s plans to become the emperor of the new world are more important than the future of all the region’s absent and missing children. A scientist treats the murder of a person as if it were an insignificant event.

A world where blood, body parts, suffering, turbid water, looted land, rubble and tents are discussed for a month… Maybe for a year… Maybe two years. We put them in front of the UN tables, and photos and news dominate social media for a while. Then what? A bigger, more noisy event is taking place, abandoning dialogue tables and conference platforms without finding real solutions, without stopping the bleeding, without a tangible impact.

Rather, everything and everyone is left with a more tragic reality, and the scene becomes more complex and cruel, and man is left to struggle with the specter of death alone, befriending his lamentations and accepting his share of this world in the bitterness of life.

There are experts, sources and politicians who speak at the tables, in closed rooms, in dialogue sessions, with special side statements, about the war and the conflict. But who is talking about the solution? About stopping these tragedies and suffering?

Who is talking about how we treat patients who have lost parts of their bodies? Who lost their homes? Who lost their memories, their past and their present? Entire peoples have lost their dignity, their existence, their presence, their dreams and their hopes.

Was that the purpose of all this suffering? Was this the purpose of man’s existence in this life? To drown in suffering and get caught up in tragedy? And he is left alone without health, educational, economic, service, social, humanitarian, and moral structures to save him?

Is this the value of a human being? Passing breaking news amid disasters and tragedies that eat humans and stone? Is this the value of a human being? His suffering and pain are just forgettable news? Is this the value of a human being?

They are just collateral damages to wars and conflicts that do not rest and never end, and the cruelest thing is that the citizen has no business or decision in them. Wars and conflicts are fueled by people’s will, or entirely by their own will.
