It has been a while since I have posted anything. Why is that I ask myself? Well to be perfectly honest I am not sure, I think I may have even become detached from the world and what is going on around me. Sometimes I have thought that maybe I had become devoid of any emotion. This may have been a possibility until Now!!
The world we live in is constantly changing, Not all for the better it seems. Lots of news reports of governments collapsing, countries in civil war, families torn apart through desperation, trying to get away from the atrocities that we as human beings feel it is our right to inflict on each other. All this happens because we think we are being just in our belief, our belief in a religion or through greed and power hunger. It has taken me until today to be able to post about one of the most graphic and upsetting scenes I have ever seen reported in my life.
WARNING PICTURE OF A GRAPHIC AND UPSETTING NATURE WARNING
The Image that you are about to see is probably one of the worst things I have ever seen in my entire life. My career spans both Military and Medical and I have seen more than a life time of carnage and devestation, only one other image has ever broke my heart like this did. This image has been seen the world over. It has forced governments to reassess their commitment to world peace, It has embarressed governments into accepting more Refugees, Asylum Seekers, Migrants, what ever the correct word is. These People are fleeing unacceptable and unimaginable acts of violence and fear. Lets bring them into our lives and help them people.
This is AYLAN KURDI, he was just 3 years old when his life was tragically cut short. I can’t even begin to imagine the fear the pain and the confusion he went through in the last moments of his life, how can this happen. It tears me apart just thinking of it. His father had to watch not just Aylan but his 5-year-old brother and his wife drown. This man has been destroyed on every level.
My heart goes out to them. Aylans father will forever have to live with that image and question his decision to try to better their lives by doing what they did. All he was trying to do was save his family and take them to a better place to have a life they could be happy in. Now this man has lost absolutely everything.
I want you to think about that for a moment!! I want you to understand the real fear these people are going through to make these decisions to escape the terrorism that is going on. I don’t know what the right answer is but this is not it.
I have sat recently and listen to many a bigoted, lazy, opinionated unemployed whingeing sofa politician telling me that the reason they can not work is because all these illegal immigrants are coming over and stealing their jobs. WELL GO AND GET ONE OF THESE JOBS!!!!! Secondly who are you to say that the people running in fear of their lives are not entitled to come to a safe haven and become a productive member of society to be happy.
This post is a rant and a jumble as the emotions that are in me at this moment are of anger, Confusion and sorrow conflicting with each other, I thought I had seen most things but nothing has put it into perspective like this.
I want to help and will find a way, How can we let this happen. More needs to be done.
Be Safe………………………………..
