“Appear”

Some days I just disappear into my own thoughts. Other days those thoughts are expressed and become words.

Today, I’m just lost in my thoughts as I contemplate the current war right now in Israel/Palestine. If you recall, I’m due to go on 25 November. It’s been all year in the arranging.

I’m in a zoom meet on 6th November to find out if the trip to Palestine to the West Bank can/will go ahead on 25 November.

I’m guessing if flights are cancelled anyhow that’s a no and if the unrest continues then it’s a no.

But if they give us the choice to decide, I’ve decided, I’m going.

Life is too short to question decisions overly but this one decision has been tugging at me for nearly a year knowing the unrest. But now it’s erupted I somehow haven’t changed that decision,

I want to see what is going on, speak to the people and get to understand more than what media drips to the world.

It troubles me greatly what is happening and I choose no sides. I however do not choose to give a moment to terrorists. Cold blooded Killers.

I choose to care and try to understand what is happening. To be part of helping in any where that I possibly can. Even if that is only to relay back here the truths. Dispell untruths and just be a person to care and help people not living as they have the rights to.

We go through our lives very fortunately and people belly and shout on social media about which side they take, having the louder voices etc. They march and wave flags but at the end of the day they go home to their lovely 4 walls and crack on with their fortunate lives.

I sit back and watch social media and it’s like the underbelly of humanity,

Frankly it troubles me that humans are so predictable. They like to “appear” to care, “appear” to support. But that’s all they do. “Appear”.

I feel so strongly that at this time in life really it’s about time I do more than “appear” to care.

I full accept that it’s not safe, I knew that 10 months ago. I fully accept that I could find myself in a tough situation and or I may not come back.

But I’ve realised that my life needs more purpose that walking like the rest of the human hamsters in this world.

People never learn, because they repeat.
