New York,
Madrid, London, Paris, Brussels, Nice,…. Bagdad, Mogadishu, Alepo,…
Who’s next?
When is it going to end?
We can
continue arming us to teeth’s and bombing far away deserts, but it will only
make us keep on walking our streets in fear, making sure that there are no suspicious
faces before taking that bus, metro, train or plane. Eventually it will provoke
locking ourselves voluntarily more and more into the safety of our houses. And
then, that’s it. They win. All of them. The ones that put bombes and shoot innocent
people on the streets and those whose greed made possible for them to come out
of their holes and get so powerful persuading hopeless kids that their acts
will bring justice.
There is no
justice in the death of the innocent. Not here. Not there. Not anywhere.
That is why
instead of seeking solutions in violence trying to exterminate the symptoms, we
must go to the cause. Follow the trail that opened up the Pandora box and keeps
causing misery, inequality and injustice for many and immense fortune for very few.
We must
stop being dependent on oil and other fossil fuel as a source of energy. It
will take time. It can’t be done in a day, or a week. Not even a year. But if
we all awake awareness in ourselves and the people around us, than, it wil be
possible to do it in a decade or two.
There will
keep on being terrorism and violence but only as a last desperate blow from a
dying beast. When our air gets clean again, when there are no countries bombed
to ashes to lower the oil prices, when the opportunities are the same for
everyone and when justice and freedom are no longer a privilege but a birth
right for every human being then we can stop writing We are all Paris,… Brussels,…
Orlando,… Nice,... and simply know that:
We are all brothers.
