I am searching for hope.

Looking at everything that is happening around us. I wonder why a subject like human rights even exists.

I pursued this subject a few years ago. Since then, I have only been trying to understand the purpose behind human rights law.

To me, the rights protection this course taught looks like an illusionary concept. All I can see is increasing violence of all sorts. And towards those who lack privilege, power and voice.

I sometimes feel I am turning apathetic, too. Not because I want to, but maybe because I can’t do anything about it. And that aches my heart.

I have so little to no control. And me feeling helpless or whatever is not going to make any difference.

What do I do? I am losing hope. It’s dying slowly and steadily moment by moment. All my efforts to stay positive were in vain.

It’s not a person, body, or institute at fault. We have failed as a collective.

We need to restore humanity more than ever.

You and I may be on a different page because of:

What you believe and what I believe.

What you feel and what I feel.

What you see and what I see.

What you experience and what I experience.

What you read and what I read.

What you want and what I want.

And this can go on.

Based on religion, politics, ideas of nationalism, etc we could be on different pages.

I don’t know. It could be anything.

Beyond nationality, ideology, and religion comes humanity; I hope we meet there.

I hope that you and I become ‘we’ against violence of any sort.

Violence is unjust. Violence cannot be justified. Violence is Violence. Violence is not the answer.
