To whom it may concern:
War is coming. Do you know how it
feels like to live your life as if every second you could be attacked,
or killed, or - even worse - summoned for a battle? Everything is about
going to an open field, shooting at innocent people who shoot at you, an
innocent yourself, and all this for what? Only for the hidden, sleazy
interests of some people who pretend to run the world, but not for the
benefit of the bigger part of humanity.
The sad thing is, dear
reader, that war itself is just a proof of how low humanity can fall.
The lack of understanding, the frustrations caused by the lack of
communication and - maybe above all - the selfishness and the thirst for
power are the starters of a war, just like it happened in Ukraine.
I
am a citizen of Romania, a country that shares borders with Ukraine,
and I feel threatened every day, because a war can start any second.
Ukrainians start mutinies and go out on the streets, aware of the fact
that they might die for that, but they do it anyway. It is not just an
act, it represents a symbol. Just like this letter. A symbol to address
to the ones in charge: 'we are not ignorant, we see what is going on and
we want to stop it!'.
We are aware, of course, that we value
nothing alone, because a man who stands alone finds himself ignored,
mocked or even shut down. But we start a manifest, so that people who
share the same opinions with us might find us, might find the courage
inside themselves to join and to speak out loud for their own, their
family, their country or their planet.
Earth is our only home
so far. By ignoring incidents like the ones from Ukraine we only
contribute to its destruction. And without Earth, we can no longer exist
either. So help us stop the war from Ukraine, help us install - little
by little - peace. When we become a group they will hear us and we won't
have to live in fear anymore.
With hope,
A concerned citizen, Mihaela
