We live in a world floated with crises

We live in a world of crises. We can say that the whole world is flooded with crises, and the calamitic atmosphere surrounds us. Wars in Yemen and Syria, Economic crisis looming on the horizon, Freedom of expression level on the decline, Climate Change & Global warming, and finally, the Coronavirus crisis.

I was listening to a talk one day about the possibility of WW3 over Taiwan. As everybody knows, Taiwan is a sensitive subject for China. A few weeks ago, a Chinese warplanes mission, including nuclear-capable bombers, entered the Taiwan air defence zone. But talks about WW3 possibilities are more frequent than before. They are talking about the clash of the titans over Syria, the Americans and Russians. It could be the start point to blow all of it off. The question is about who will pull off the safety pin?

The Syrian refugee crisis is the worst since WW2. Millions of Syrians, almost half of the population, are displaced inside and outside Syria. Western powers struggle in Syria over geopolitical influence and energy concerns. Experts are talking about large deposits of oil and gas located in Syria's coastal area. The Persian kings used to ask for earth and water as a symbol of submission. Americans are more fashionable in their demands. They asked for their share of the oil. Donald Trump was the best American president ever to be elected. He gave a straight shot answer when he was asked about the reason for America's existence in Syria. The answer was for our share of oil. 

Freedom of expression is in grave danger. Many journalists around the world were imprisoned, killed and shot at. However, ordinary people face certain risks when they try to express their opinion. Governments in some countries keep their firm grip on published material, especially books. In countries like China, they have their own version of Facebook and Twitter. The idea of  pre-approval of published material or media has never been accepted by me. It will give an opposite reaction with people, they will start looking for the panned material. Authors and publishers won’t be more happy, free advertisements. 

Finally, I would like to say something, love is easier than hate. The second is not natural to our body. Hates consume our energy and spirit. We need to love each other, our planet needs our love and attention, we need to buy less weapons and more books, we need to stop wars, we need to respect each other. All we need for a better world is love.
