Our hearts mourn once again and the question remains still the same; why? But the answer, regardless its polyhedric
complexity, is as simple: Evil exists.
We are certainly walking through hard times for our living together it is true, but what we are currently facing is not
a war of religions as it might first appear for simple minds, turning so unfairly
all muslim individuals into suspects or wrongdoers according to our polite western
standards, we are really facing a war against evil and so we must fight it
wherever it is and whoever stands it for.
Religion means peace. No god compels his followers to erase the
other gods off the face of Earth but just the opposite, I would say; we all are
compelled to be hospitable and welcoming, to be respectful with the others, not
to murder or to rob… no matter what or who our god might be if any, simply
because everything responds to the most basic human natural order, these
principles lay on the deepest layers of our essence and no written laws or
commandments should be necessary out of those natural principles.
Evil is in extremism, evil is in barbarism, in savagery; evil as the real root of all. Deads
are deads wherever they die, no matter if in New York, London, Madrid, Paris… or
Baghdad and every one of them leaves a trail of immense pain behind so it is the
extremists who we ALL must fight to; and I’m saying “all” appealing to my
childish naïve sense of the utopia longing for a common front of All The Goods
defeating the Evil. It is for sure that if this ever happened all our gods
would agree on being so proud of us. We
are more, we are better, we are stronger and we are right so what else do we
need?
Today my heart mourns for the casualties in Paris as it mourns
every day when I see the images of the drowned ones in the sea or the deads under
the bombs, and of the children… those so many thousands of helpless children! I hope my shrunken heart of today would never end up
getting used to just hearing the numbers without listening. May they all rest in peace.
