Life's experiences can make you bitter, hateful, resentful or cynical
if you let them. It's even worse if you trying to build a relationship
with the opposite gender and you already had some share of
disappointments in your life.
Sometimes it's good to go through
all those things for some individuals, because sometimes you decide
there and then that "I wouldn't never put anyone through what he or she
put me through. " .
And sometimes it's not good at all for others
because they can decide that "I will never let anyone put me through
this again, therefore I will hurt them before they hurt me" and they
just do that. Hurt or hurting people hurts people,
But honestly isn't that what life is all about? Maybe the best way to to label that is experience.
Unfortunately, the Media, and Government, which influence the majority of the population around the world, are now all riding on the bandwagon of combating "sexual abuse"which now mainly focuses on celebrities, the Catholic Church, and most recently NGO's like Oxfam.
Obviously, it is important to combat sexual abuse, but it certainly should not be on top of the list of all the other horrors the world is facing today, like war, poverty, the causes of mass migration, or weapons industry.
The number of people displaced from their homes due to conflict and
persecution last year exceeded 60 million for the first time in the
United Nations’ history, a tally greater than the combined populations
of the United Kingdom, or of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, says a
new report released on World Refugee Day today.
The Global Trends 2015
compiled by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
notes that 65.3 million people were displaced at the end of 2015, an
increase of more than 5 million from 59.5 million a year earlier.
The tally comprises 21.3 million refugees, 3.2 million asylum
seekers, and 40.8 million people internally displaced within their own
countries.
Measured against the world’s population of 7.4 billion people, one in
every 113 people globally is now either a refugee, an asylum-seeker or
internally displaced – putting them at a level of risk for which UNHCR
knows no precedent.
In the past years Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia produce half the world’s refugees, at 4.9 million, 2.7 million and 1.1 million, respectively.
Colombia in Latin America had the largest numbers of internally displaced people
(IDPs), at 6.9 million, followed by Syria’s 6.6 million and Iraq’s 4.4
million.
While the spotlight last year was on Europe’s challenge to manage
more than one million refugees and migrants who arrived via the
Mediterranean, the report shows that the vast majority of the world’s
refugees were in developing countries in the global south.
In all, 86 per cent of the refugees under UNHCR’s mandate records were in low- and middle-income countries close to situations of
conflict.
Nearly 1/2 of the world's population — more than 3 billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day. More than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 a day. 1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty.
Like it or not, dear feminists, you might find sexual harassment a terrible crime, so do most most of us, but there are also other crimes against humanity, which are far more dangerous and deadly.
Harvey Weinstein, one of Hollywood’s most revered moguls and influential
kingpins, who has been sexually harassing and abusing women for nearly 30
years, is a terribly sad case, but in reality his case is only a drop of water on a hot plate, compared to the results of wars, proxy wars, hunger, or poverty around the world.
Unfortunately those horrific events hardly ever get the attention they deserve because those problems are usually the the result of our own governments deeds and actions and are shoved under the table.
Not one Western Government, which has taken part in the Middle East wars has ever been asked by their Legislative Representation to justify the destruction and enormous number of casualties suffered by the local population, and the total failures of these wars.
"We the people" are really the only ones who can do something about it. This destructive policy of wars has to stop and we should not get side-tracked by the smoke-screens our Governments and media are applying to divert our attention.
It is high time our governments get their priorities right.
