Mate, reading your article , I think in my partner, she is a Syrian refugee (she is only 22 years old), despite our trust, she is unable to tell me everything she lived through in the war and what she had to do to escape with her family from such suffering, I can’t imagine how hard it must be to live through that.
So don’t tell me that humanity is progressing, well yes we are, but I think we are heading towards our own destruction.
While we are talking here there are many people suffering “the good path” of humanity, so it is not right, sadly we can do little 😞
It's often difficult to talk about difficult and stressful situations, loss and suffering, and about things seen but never forgotten, I'm not surprised she doesn't tell you everything. Sad, but a reality of a situation like hers.
I understand that people want to have hope, I think it's convenient and comforting for people to say things like, humanity is moving towards peace, but the fact of it is that humans are constantly in conflict, one after the other with small gaps of
peaceplanning the next conflict in between. Emotions like greed, selfishness, ego and hubris are for too strong in humans and most act commensurate to those emotions. It's easy to blame the agendas of politicians, corporations and hunger for money as people do, but it's all humans...all to blame.
