Observing nowadays one of modern times biggest tragedies ; the waves of immigrants of all ages , genders and different religious and ethnic backgrounds , mostly from Syria , as well as Iraq , Afghanistan , Africa and other unfortunate regions of our planet . One cannot but ponder while looking at these sad pictures and documentary clips , all over the international media .
5 years down the line in Syria , and since the absurd invasion of Iraq , men and women , especially kids and infants , would at the early stages of their conflicts fight and suffer in order not to die . Now they suffer and fight in order to live .
There is a huge difference between fighting to avoid death , and fighting to cling to life , to quote Malaparte's words ; men who fight to avoid death preserve their dignities and pride , men women and children fighting in order to live hang to what remains to human life with tenacity of total desperation . At start men would fight to save their pride , freedom of conscience and dignity , later in the game , fleeing men have to fight in order to live , It's a humiliating necessity and condition for preserving life and only to save one's skin .
Observing the barbaric wars in Syria , Iraq , Yemen and Israel/Palestine , where civilization totally gave way , where what's left are only hungry animals , ready and willing to do anything to go on living their way .
For some in those lands , their Islamic faith , based on a total acceptance of godly providence , makes it easier to endure and go on living , accepting god's will and his wrath upon their lives . for Israelites religion renders them immune to conscience and morality questioning , for war lords on all sides , their brutality , blood-thirst and hegemonic ambitions form the supreme aesthetic experience .
Nothing makes men so mutually hostile , so barbaric in their acts , as the violence of civil religious wars . Their most primitive animalistic impulses return to surface and all their inhibitions disappear . Their savagery , totally eclipse the civilized , only the human animal remains , forever at war with itself and everything around it .
A better , higher and nobler order of reality must exist , for the survival of the human race on earth . We cannot , and should never accept that geopolitical chaos might be the rule , nor the finality , the world has to be a politically rational place to survive and strive . The whole of the Middle-East must sooner than later reach an equilibrium , even if it means seeking its order in diversity , or else it will be in a constant state of warfare .
The very young Syrian child or toddler , clinging to his mother's robe in an over crowded dinghy , facing killer waves , large at sea , as is the infant in an under occupation West Bank alley , only longs for some freedom , freedom from vicious inhuman situations , hunger , and a lack of livable future , while thinking to itself that humans are incurably irrational , ruthless and incorrigible .
My as always , many thanks for reading and sharing my words and thoughts .
