Page 13 - THE PATH
P. 13
It must be remembered that nobody is allowed to
take somebody else’s life and everything born on this
planet deserves to live.
Man’s core is filled with love, although there is a
thin outer layer of vices and love for power that should be
eliminated. One day… when it happens, love will prevail.
The inevitable development will happen, but it is up
to us to decide whether we are going to speed it up or
stifle it. If we fail and destroy ourselves, I will be very
sorry not for myself, as I may not be alive then, but for
my children and the next generations.
Let me go back to some images of my childhood. I
remember, I was about five, when I saw Yasser Arafat on
television, sitting on the grass under some rocks, with the
well-known black-and-white keffiyeh, holding a machine
gun in his hands.
I remember him because he remained in the same
uniform and the same idea to his death. Neither he nor
the rest of the world have found a solution to this problem
after so many years. The discontent persists and the
problem has not been solved for decades.
