What I want my readers to know about the Struggle For and the Fight for Survival is that throughout life, man seeks for the ability to have the power to turn things around from one way to the other. Survival has always been a part of lives, since our prehistory. Without it, we wouldn’t be here. We can either survive by doing fruitful things, which can be beneficial for us and others or we can think that we are doing evil things by thinking that we’re surviving, without knowing sometimes that they’re not beneficial for ourselves, our surroundings and our nations’ well being .
What makes the difference is the way we use our power. We can either turn it around in constructive ways or we can choose to turn around in destructive ways. No matter how we choose to do so, the impact can either make us or break us. Tyranny is one of the examples of the things that break us. I.e. Communism and dictatorships in Africa and around the world. People who are dictators sometimes had bad histories. They use power to oppress their people and seek for acceptance, perhaps the acceptance they never had in their childhoods.
They abuse their people by suppressing their rights to free speech and other universal rights. It’s important that we treat people with diseases like AIDS and other deadly diseases like human beings. It’s important that we focus on solutions, rather than the problems or the origins of these diseases and who or what stood behind them. The world needs results, not excuses, lies and manipulations. I talk about abuse in several levels. Both at social levels, but also at personal levels as well. Unfair trade is the reason behind many problems we face in our Western nations like: illegal immigration, terrorism, climate change, hunger, crime etc. We fear to see some developing countries make progress because we don’t want to lose our welfare, but what some of us don’t understand is that it’s in our best interests that the developing world makes progress so that they can be able to feed their people and live decent lives. I personally believe that the financial crisis is the root of lots of problems we are facing in our societies today. Lots of people lose their jobs, many companies aren’t performing well as they used to and fear of what the future holds. That’s why it’s important that we have hope as we make decisions. The number one root behind terrorism is poverty and the poor feels left out by their corrupt governments and the international community and they get driven by ideologies, which are barbaric and destructive for themselves and others in their community and our part of the world. They become easy targets for those who have destructive mindsets and those who promote religious bigotry. Such ideologies are inexcusable and we need to use our power to fight it and build lives so that they can be somebody in life. When they do that, they are free and freedom makes them fly like birds. If you’re free, you’re happy. Peace without justice is like wanting to get out of a prison, without a key.
