Peoples often have Short Memory

Just as the empire of Rome was run, so too is the world run today

Peoples often have short memory.
They often do not want to change themselves, their actions or their values.
It doesn’t want to revolt against itself. On her consciousness.
To step towards a real intellectual, value, political, economic and social awakening.
She doesn’t want a change in which she is a partner.
Especially in this age, where the individual has become lazer, less responsible, and weaker than the passion to be a partner in building something… Even if this thing is its homeland, its society, its present or its future.
With bread and circus, the masses are run.
Just as the empire of Rome was run, so too is the world run today.
With crumbs of bread, and a bit of fun, individuals are controlled.

No one cares about participating in building a real project — no political party, no school of thought, no reform in the educational structure, no revision of their books, not even the pruning of their legislation and morals.
All they seek are some services that they can extract from this reality, even if they are at their lowest level.
The biggest problem is not the atrocity, but its habituation.
Cruelty no longer shocks them, nor does ugliness disgust them.
In many countries, citizens do not have the basics of life: no clean water, no electricity, no loaf of bread, and yet… Used.
He used to be deprived, he used to few, he used not to get his rights.
He used to be silent, he used not to think, not to express his opinion, not to celebrate his humanity.
Whoever gives him crumbs, becomes for him a crowned king.
Thus idols are replaced… with idols.
The same mistakes, the lapses, the same follies committed by the ancestors are reproduced.
They cheer for their new idols, dance on their calamities, live on empty slogans,
They desperately defend those who caused their destruction.
They do not differentiate between the right to life, justice and dignity,
And between worshipping a new idol, stealing them in the name of patriotism, religion, or the public interest.
Freeing you from the grip of someone who does not give you a decent life is not a sin.

It is a sin to remain a prisoner of your ignorance, a prisoner of your short-sightedness.
That your land, sovereignty and resources are taken away every day, while you are content to watch, repeating the same slogans, and spinning in the same vortex.
The danger is not in oppression, but in living with it.
It is not a sin to crush, but to get used to crushing… And you defend who crushes you.
