Doomed

Looking at any news broadcast these days makes you realise that humanity is NOT learning from the past and is therefore doomed to continue to make the same mistakes.

All one has to do is look at the situation in Gaza, here we have a people being persecuted by the very same people who themselves where persedcuted by the Nazi's.

How come the rest of the world stepped in to assist at a cost of millions of innocent lives then and yet today sits back and does nothing??????

Have we instead of moving forward and learing to value human life, in fact stepped backwards in time to a time where human life means nothing.

As South Africans we experience needless death on a daily basis with a crime situation where your life is valued at less than that of a cellphone and yet we to sit back and do nothing, our lives are just as valueless as those of the Palestinians in Gaza. Or at least so it would appear. (Please dont think that I am in anyway trying to make light of or compare the Gaza situation, the only similarity is our lack of humanity and action on either count)

Are we as "humans" going to sit back and watch this happen, are we going to continue to allow the powers that be decide who is worthy and who is not?
Are we going to continue to do nothing about the situations both in Gaza and here???
Are we going to wait till the death toll in both places reaches millions before we as the human race stand up and say NO MORE?????

Because if that is the case then we as a human race are DOOMED and our end can not come fast enough.

In this situation there really is nothing to laugh about, there is little about the human race to love and there certainly is no will to change the way we live..........I for one though am going to learn from history and attempt to make a difference no matter how small it may seem
