There are two things in life that we can be certain about. At some point we all live, and we all die. It's the natural process of life, but it's what we do with those years of our life that are the most important.
Yet as we grow and progess through life, there are always obstacles and misunderstandings that deminishes the mark we try to leave on the world.
Religion can conquor but more often than not it usually divides. War destroyes friendship and love, leaving the world in conflict and hate.
Should it not be our goal to allow an Israli boy and a Palistine boy to walk arm in arm if they choose to?
It's often hard to see the world outside of the bubble that we live in. Yes we watch and listen to the TV, we read the newspapers, but do we really understand the emotional turmoil the world is in?
Why is we we cant see past whats happening in our lives. This week the biggest drama of my life seemed to be the fact that i had to pay £50 for a train ticket home. It's hardly worthy of the time I gave it.
I watched panorama one night, and I saw a six year old palestine girl describe the moment a bomb fell onto her house leaving her entire family minus one brother dead. She had even drawn a picture using red to illustrate the blood she saw. It was at that moment that my heart broke, and I understood the world we live in.
Slowly one by one, us priviledged people from the developed world will put our rose tinted glasses away and see the world as it truely is. And that is the day that the world will change and become a better place.
