And once again the future fate of thousands of people relies on immature impulsive dictators with too much power and too much access to missile codes.
As the current events follow a line suspiciously parallel to the cold war, civilians around the world are stranded by their only option, to sit and watch patiently to whatever war (or maybe nothing) happens. It seems like humanity´s history follows a regular pattern of building up anxiety and using it to create conflict. To me, it looks like going back to your ex every time you feel lonely (assuming your ex was a very toxic, unnecessary, unloving relationship). It seems to me, that every time we have the chance to evolve as a society, to act upon our potential, to be smarter, just, and reasonable, is exactly when people get bored and rather remember old fears to blame somebody else therefore allowing us to hate again. Because I guess looking up for a civilised-well educated-healthy-accepting-eco friendly-society is too mainstream and lord, don´t we just love to hate?
If you ask me, all the troubles between Putin, Un and Trump, aside from the interests involved, they are the direct projection of the first world society today. And more than being the “evil” or the “bad” side, they are the product of an insecure system that in an endless cycle builds up and vomits this type of violent “leaders”. The millennial era is one of revolution and change but it definitely lacks a sense of respect and while at it, the old is trying to desperately keep up. It is a new world so we don't understand yet the rules as technology develops alongside with intelligent military but, we can't let fear of the new get us to go backwards. We know these dictators, we've seen them a thousand times before, everywhere around the world we've fought them. They tell you exactly who you should fear and what values you should defend. But in a world where everybody is connected, the extreme patriotism and judgment of the different is bound to backfire.
It is a time to trust ourselves the same way you trust yourself when you broke up from that one that you knew abused you and wasn't good for you. It is a time to prioritise what this world needs for our own sake. A time to catch up with our smartphones and be the intelligent one in the room. A time to catch up with our position in human evolution.
It is time to stop watching, get up, and as an international community, as an individual, and as a human being, share option 2: a decent reality.
