A Lack of Heart in Humanity

The elders in my village always quoted ‘if you live close to the tree you will know how the tree snores’

In the current refugee crisis in the world especially in Africa- Middle East and Europe whatever we do now is too late as we have let down human society dis respectfully.

Given the reality about this refugee crisis that has been going on over the last 20 years and we blatantly ignored our call for action because thousands of refugees died on their ‎journey to Europe this year.

Why is this happening in the 21st century when we classify our self as such a civilized society with much advanced knowledge, technology and connections to our world-net never before than any human generations.

One can hardly come to believe Europe’s leadership took such a melodramatic approach this century. They forget that just 100 years ago the world countries opened their doors to European citizens when the first and second world wars broke out and made for one of the worst humanitarian refugee crisis in the history of Europe.

Africans boldly and proudly have participated in the campaign fighting the first and second world wars to bring peace and prosperity to Europe today.

Whatever our believe is humanity has one thing in common and that is moral conscience – the complex of ethical and moral principles that controls or inhibits the actions or thoughts of an individual.

We must know by now that whatever we spend billion dollars on weapons defence to protect our nation we can never retain falling rain in one basket – the sky is wide open our secret to better humanity is to use our voice and humble talent and ability to sit down and negotiate our way each time there’s an issue amongst nations . This is the best proven theory to not killing each other.

This refugee crisis is real and will continue if nothing is done concretely. From Africa, Middle East ,Asia and now with US under Trump America, we know very well the root; this must be the focus point for all our leaders globally.

Showing respect to one of the most valuable organizations United Nations (UN) to reach better consensus solving this problem; since the beginning of humanity we where all refugee in any given time as we continue to evolve and civilize‎.

One of the great European refugees Albert Einstein quoted ‘A bundle of belongings isn’t the only thing refugees brings to his new country’ and

‘The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything’

As refugee and citizen of this great nation we should not forget our foundation as a nation.

Canada was founded on pure policy of smart diplomacy this is how we lead some of the world’s great policy that shaped the 20th century this must be our continued weapon legacy for our leadership now and forever .

I encourage all to do unto others as you would do unto yourself!
