Humanity is a must! Half the world is deceiving the other half. I notice that so often! Since the allegedly philanthropic and humanitarian campaigns, covering financial interests, or even other more obscure, to the alleged altruistic gestures of good will and investment in people, supposedly, that hide attempts to influence or to be influenced, to profit from the feat, to multiply this gesture apparently magnanimous in benefits that escape the understanding of the ordinary mortals.

These ones are often asleep, or their goodness only sees the immediate positive results that comes to them or to others, but that hides the true intention of the people who promote and implement them.

Not to mention the wars and rebellions, in scenarios that are true chess boards where those who play never lose, only gain, materially and politically. Truly sad. The crowd protests, or welcomes, depending on the situations, at several forums and networks, in an united voice where only some see further.

But the truth is that we, citizens, feel almost every time powerless to act, we act like a puppet without realizing the invisible threads that lead us to other places, places that sometimes we even think we want to go. This world would need a global citizens' movement that could change this paradigm where we are, a movement towards humanity.

But this is only me talking, me that proclaims humanity but ends up sitting at a corner watching.

Great photos and an Inspirational post indeed and one that should make people think

Its so true and we all hear people saying there is nothing they can do so you just have to accept it, perhaps its true for an individual, but if all people expressed there thoughts and concerns it becomes more than just one it becomes the consensus of multiple voices and changes can be made

lets hope this can happen to prevent wars, protect the planet etc etc

Great post

I wish we committed altogether to change the world as it is now. In fact, the owners of the world are a minority, comparing to the rest of us... Why can't we do better? Why don't we stand for more values? I feel that we can start by expressing here what we stand for, but it seems so insignificant and worthless... but we can never quit trying!
Thanks a lot for your comment!

yes we have to keep trying
