This past week and weekend has been hard on me. Watching the events unfold at the US-Mexico Border and the never ending war between Palestine and Israel, and watching the reaction from the public on both stories leaves me doubting there will ever be a time of peace and that the humanity of this world is gone.
The Immigration issue between the US and Mexico is nothing new. Even the brutal nature of those watching the story unfold isn't new, it is just getting to new heights. The idea that any fellow human being can be labeled as an Illegal by another, or to wish death or harm upon them is a sign that human nature is gone, human behavior is something to abhor and human action is in the least in eternal conflict with any form of peace.
Where has the humanity gone? How can people be so careless and thoughtless of another human being? How can a person cast aside a mans life as if it is worthless? Why are we as a species so brutal and barbaric to one another? Is this our nature?
No I refuse to believe it is. I believe it is a learned behavior, a picked up reaction to some situations and a general referral to a learned and reinforced response brought into our lives by years of upbringing and accepted practises by adults, monkey see monkey continues to do that drives this inhumanity.
