The media! The hunger! The war…

The media! The hunger! The war…what we need to know or, what news agency want us to focus on?! Most of the time what media try to show us, is a well prepared ready to sell news package, different than what we really should be aware of or, focus on! We shall not forget our awareness defines our actions.
The story of the Madaya city in Syria is truly heartbreaking; people who left without food for a month or more in a conflicted zone, shame on any group who they believe fighting can offer better life condition to the people…! There is no doubt that, the war is the most tragic human made action in the world. 

But in fact the hunger is not a new story, it is a world problem for decades & it is not a problem just in Madaya city in Syria, but in some towns in Yemen, Libya, in Iraq…etc, and it is not happening just because of the war. The hungriness is happening every day, even in our neighborhoods! According to the WFP; “Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest prevalence of hunger “… 66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry.” or “One in four of the world's children are stunted…”. Considering these statistics the media should report news of the hungry villages/towns almost every day and in many none-conflicted zones.
But war, “The War”, is causing more terrible problems than hunger! The violence, fears, insecurity, homelessness, loses, poverty, and some forever unseen pains…etc. aren’t those really bigger problem than hunger?
WFP homepage is mentioned: “The good news is that hunger is entirely solvable. There is enough food in the world to feed everyone and no scientific breakthroughs are needed. Today’s knowledge, tools and policies, combined with political will, can solve the problem”.
Political will and our willingness can solve the hunger problem hopefully…but what needs to come to an end & with immediate action is the war, the terrible war! And what needs to change is our awareness about what is really happening around us,to help us to use all available tools (&media) to shape the world around us, and to make it to be safer and better place for all us to live in.

Fear, Love, and Wonder feeling...in one sight & at one time

„Guten Rutsch“

One of the end of the year popular greeting In German language is; „Guten Rutsch“, which means; good slide! But in fact the deeper meaning is; wishing someone a good journey into a New Year.

However this (seemingly) long journey of life is very short…(a common way to say it; life is too short)! As evidence, this is the only last day of the year in this year that we are experiencing! Isn’t it?!

Life is changing, & we do too! We are going through many occasions in our lifetime, but it is up to us in this journey, we stand in our lights or in our shadows!

We are putting behind the only 2015 that we have lived in, and sliding into the New Year/New Times...& Time is truly the only treasure that we have got for free in our lifetime! I wish we all experience it fully & pleasingly.

And my greater wishes; 
& I wish for the world infinite peacetime,
& for Polar bear an enjoyable freezing ice,
& for stray animals & all other animals very safe nature & kind humans in surroundings,
& for children to be safe and sound!
