One thing, speaking for itself:
Other thing:
"
God bless children!
Remember,
Berkin ELVAN".
Berkin Elvan was a boy, just a boy. Could have been your son, there in the Americas. Could have been my boy, sweet thirteen, in a supposed to be safe country. But he was in Turkey, in the wrong moment at the wrong place.
Berkin Elvas was one of many, but a better-known victim of terrorcracy Erdogan. Just a kid. Like yours or mine.
Innocent. Like many others. Going out for getting bread for the family, as so many kids are sent to.
One thing is for sure: We need those with courage, we need those journalists of courage, those people of heart and courage, all of them precious.
When I started my dedicated tracking on Turkey, actually a journalist in spe was the reason, the iginition for the causa Turkia was
Mohammed Rasool.
His fate nevertheless has become the fate of so many others - journalists as well as democratic and secular politicians.
Else, if we would not have brave and courageous people, journalists, assistants, warriors, people making foood, and so many more - no one would know about Berkin Elvas. And about many many more.
It ALL connects.
Me either didn't know, or only vaguely. I remembered, but events happen so tightly one after the other that it keeps you running, swimming on a surface. You must halt and inhale to not get swept away.
But I was reminded by someone. This was and is relevant and precious. Why? Because we are one relevant for the other. Don't sweep away those that re-mind - they have a purpose far beyond your own.
We as adults are responsible, it is not about instrumentalizing kids. It is about stanindg in and standing up for our future generation. Giving them a hand,
It s about FEELING our kids. FEELING our fellow humans, where ever they might be.
Doing the right thing HERE for that they ALL may have a future.
Difficult, isn't it, the more if you want to see it on a global scale - and not, this one is especially for vicious parents, not only for the sake of your own maybe desolate inbreed offspring without taking whole society of the future into account?
Love, take care of them, fill hearts with strength - just do your very best!!! :-)
