Dear. This hate. I don't understand it, really. It's not even hate...it feels like ignorance that spouts from absolute fantasy. I'm glad you write about it openly. The truth is out there and we see it everyday. But some people are simply too thick in their head to see anything clearly and lack the capability to understand anything. They see the world in their own perspective and often apply their privileged life and thoughts to every occasion. We get targeted by such people. And believe me, here in the Netherlands also it happens. Sometimes face to face, not even online like a troll from germany or another troll from some other cou try. Can you imagine? It's really bizzare.
I find it painful that people don't understand the reality and the nuances that come along. But hey, that's the world. Like you said at the end, we appreciate the help and support...and the people we can proudly call FRIENDS!
I don't know why I finally wrote this post. Maybe because the heightened sense of justice when you are "inside" of the situation. It was so painful that I even had thoughts of taking a break from Hive. Even so, I decided that I should say it. There is a whole invisible world of emotions and feelings that is not on your face and your daily routine doesn't reflect it. We hide it from others to protect ourselves but in fact, this world is more important.
Thank you so much for your words. I know that being a refugee is not a piece of cake and no matter how it may appear. Take care 🤗
