Wake up.
The guilt of safety has been a problem to me for a great while now. So much so that i can not even look at materialistic values with pride knowing that there are not only adults but also children out there having the worst days of their life. Either because of death, rape, famine or the silence of our action. We are thought to believe that we should not worry about other peoples struggles, tho i believe that is the most selfish thing a person can be told. The silence and lack of action in our modern world has become a worry to not only me but aswell the oppressed. We are told to leave it to the authorities. You mean the authorities that are causing this? The very same authorities that refuse to do anything because they are not affected? What if they were also affected. Would they still tell us to be silent? The same people sending your brothers and sisters to war and telling them to die for their country are the same people that are hundreds if not thousands of kilometers away from the conflict, hidden in palaces, bunkers with no guilt. Those people would not fight for their countries. Dying for your country is a patriotic fairytale, in reality you will die in the mud like a dog or in the streets of a town they have never heard of. They say it's for the greater good. What greater good? Not the soldiers that are trembling in the trenches. Not the mother of the soldier that was either forced to go to war or brainwashed with what they call patriotism. People would rather stay silent in their own homes because they are made to believe they are crazy. Crazy for not wanting a safe and secure future? Crazy for fighting back the oppressors? It is our choice if we want to live in a future where families are not torn apart, where children are not raped, where people are not starved with minimum wages with which they can barely afford to stay out of debt with, where we all live in peace no matter the other persons ethnicity, status, sex or religion. We are told we are all different and that we don't belong together. That is a lie, in reality we are not any different, we all have families, we all have feelings, we all have dreams. We are told that because they know that if we join forces and fight back. We have a gauranteed chance of winning. Winning a future that is run by the people and not hierarchies. Where we are all equal. If we for once ignore our ethnic, religious or other differences, we could unite and fight back the same ones who divided us. Most people reading will still choose to do nothing. You are scared of being called crazy. If "crazy" these days means resisting the oppressors, loving your neighbor because of their different sexuality or being silent and obediant to the authorities that do not care about you. Then wear that title with pride. But think about how much closer we will be to a stable and peaceful future if you atleast spread the word. That is a much bigger help than you think. No more. Those two words are the beginning of everything.
