A human error killed 176 innocent people from seven countries in a flight from Tehran to Kiev (read more on Wikipedia).
Sand is becoming the new gold and hundreds of people have been murdered over sand only to serve a few greedy humans.
Giant industries are relying on fossil fuel and economic growth based on profit while the triple-bottom-line accounting is left behind as an ideal theory and translates into "More Paperwork".
The unhealthy fast-food chains are mushrooming same as the obesity rate.
Social media manipulates millions of people only to serve a gluttonous ignorant capitalist to win the election.
People are suffering from body shame and painful thoughts of their bodies only because businesses on social media can sell their services and products by spreading misleading information.
Millions of dollars are invested in "killer robot" research.
More importantly, the biodiversity loss rate crossed the boundary by ten times while nationalists are diminishing ethnic diversity too.
Have you asked why?
Where is this greed and selfishness come from which makes humans kill each other for food like ancient tribes in the modern era?
Is it hunger for identity which operates by the opposition? I'm American, not Mexican; I'm Christian, not Muslim; I'm white, not black; I'm Persian, not Arab; I'm rich, not poor; I'm fabulous, not average.
Well, I understand the essence of our nation is important, we should remember our connection to the past, our land, and our language because if we lose our story of life we will lose ourselves, but I do not understand why we are so proud of having a specific identity?
Don't you agree that human happiness and satisfaction is mainly a collective endeavour?
Can we live happily and safely unless our families, neighbours, colleagues, employees, other nations and everyone around the world feel the urge to cooperate not because they have to but because they want to?
BUT none of these is worse than losing HOPE. Let's just hold on to each other and be more responsible in our personal life, profession and society. Let's be the change we wish to see in the world.
