Fragmentation Is the Enemy

Be unified so infinitely that Jews and Muslims pray together atop Aqsa and no one bats an eye!

‘Blood type O. DM me’: Myanmar’s poorest are so desperate they’re turning to social media to sell their kidneys.

CNN Reports: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/30/asia/myanmar-organ-selling-coup-poverty-intl-hnk/index.html

We protest only when injustice happens in our country.

We mostly support injustice caused by our countries upon other countries.

Israel’s people started massive protests when Hamas killed hostages (September 2024). But most of them stayed silent when thousands of children were killed in their own neighborhoods (Palestine).

Kenyans and Nigerians protest the woes inflicted upon them by their governments.

Bangladesh ousts its autocrat.

Balochistan wants its own freedom from Pakistan.

All the while, the Taliban wipes out women’s voices, and the military dissolves a country called Myanmar.

The list of crazy injustices inflicted by humans upon humans only in recent months would probably make it into the most voluminous of all journals.

But we protest only in our own locality for our own personal injustices. Seldom do we see a Kenyan protesting injustice in Myanmar.

Because we are so preoccupied with the tortures on our own selves, that it’s truly difficult for us to focus anywhere else.

The pain in the head is so intense that the burning toes are hardly feeling.

This is the real evil of fragmentation.

We need to take care of the whole body.

We need to look at the world as one entity.

It is the time to do so when the whole world is burning.

Join the fragmented voices into one unified global chorus against all injustice. Include slogans for Gaza and Myanmar even in Kenya and Nigeria.

Uplift the unconditional love for humanity so high that just by looking at the height, all the autocrats and clumsicrats of the US, UN, etc., of the world solve global problems in the blink of an eye.

Raise the voice so strongly that the pulse of your slogan erases all the selfishness inside the power-hungry fools and makes them work for the betterment of all.

Be unified so intensely that all the divisions of the past become utterly obsolete. Jews are seen performing Salat and Muslims praying Shema together atop Aqsa! And, no one bats an eye!
