Middle East: Fear of tomorrow is part of life’s routine!

Fear of tomorrow is part of life’s routine!

Most dangerous of all is this subtle normalization of the idea that insecurity is normal. Surprise raids are normal. Fear of tomorrow is part of life’s routine. That uncertainty in everything is normal. The marginalization and silencing of human beings is understandable. Freedom of opinion, citizenship and accountability are luxury concepts that have no place in a world that is moving confidently towards absolute cruelty. Repression is acceptable, intellectual domination is expected, extremism is justified, and injustice is presented in the guise of security and sovereignty.

You will see it in conflicts from the east to the west of this world, even if it is dominated by the Middle East. But look at the Russia-Ukraine war, which embodies Russia’s bear war against the West, and Russia’s attempts to keep the Soviet Union’s colonies in its hands. to Iran and its attempts to swallow what can be swallowed. To China and Taiwan, and further to the conflicts of the African continent. A hybrid war that combines armed violence with economic, media and cultural warfare. Its goal is not only to control the land, but also to consciousness, to reshape the collective mind, so that we can see injustice naturally. Evil becomes trivial in a sense that it can be reinforced by individuals acquiescing to the fait accompli. Out of their fear and terror, they turn into oppressive tools for the other, for the neighbor, for the enemy and for the friend. It is a war that re-engineers, the region and the world according to the interests of certain powers, even if the price is the crushing of people’s humanity, the destruction of societies, and the annihilation of common memory. This new world order has succeeded in flattening concepts, so that truth is relative, justice is a point of view, and man is just a number in the newscasts. Mistake turned into politics, ruin into a project, and despair into a general situation.

AGAIN….

The lifeline is in your hands. Keep yourself as free as possible, able to manage your emotions, don’t let them kill all your feelings. Your reactions. Your feelings and your baptism with fear alone, do not allow them to drag you into the abyss with your instincts, your needs, and your need for the euphoria of imaginary victory, do not allow them to drag you with the rope of the fragile lost ego, and do not allow them to enslave you for the sake of crumbs. Don’t allow them to stamp you with cracked posters, slogans and narratives when they decide to build a battle theater for you. And sacrificing you as a hero in the Rome circus. He left the theater immediately and Sunday with their victory and defeat. Your freedom is in your hands. It starts with your awareness. Salvation is your decision. It is manifested in your humanity. Think.. Mind.. Your insight and your soul defend your right and your existence, but be ascetic with their temptations, their speeches. Their trends. Their rulings. Interests.. Their narratives… And don’t let them own you… At all.

FOR WHAT

Stuck in the tunnel. Two years after the tragedy was renewed

After two years of creative chaos in the region, the pains have crystallized. From the destruction that descended on Gaza, the rubble increased, the tents increased, and the economic situation in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria became more miserable.

After all this… Where to? And why did all that happened? To deepen the tragedy of the people of the region? To poison their livelihood? To impoverish them? To make them ask for death instead of life? To create an inexhaustible hell? Is there a hell more damning and dark than this one? Where injustice, inhumanity, lawlessness and illogic prevail. Where do extremism, evil and hatred prevail? More dangerously, the reinforcement of challenges in reality and toxic environments contributes to the transformation of individuals into angry, resentful entities, either helpless or ready to explode at any moment. The current reality perpetuates people’s suffering instead of providing a sustainable solution to it. It makes them stuck in a whirlpool of fear, terror and darkness. No way out, no end. Generations after generations are paying a heavy price for their lives, dreams, body and heart. For what?
