“I am privileged by fate to live here in Princeton…In this small university town the chaotic voices of human strife barely penetrate. I am almost ashamed to be living in such peace while all the rest struggle and suffer.”
This is what Albert Einstein said in 1933, after escaping to US and seeing his fellow Jews struggle and suffer under Nazi's. That was a time. A time when humanity survived.
What do we see now? Well, we see that change; the demeaning of humanity and it's values. There has been drastic deterioration in respecting human lives and upholding human rights. It is a time, this very indefinite progress of existence where we see people who talk more and do less, the hypocrisy. We foresee something very apocalyptic and sinister looming large upon humanity. It is precarious. It is so when the very democratic and open government gives way to tyranny and issues "executive order barring Syrian refugees from entering US until further notice" so blatantly.
It is very unbecoming for a democracy and a modern civilized world. For a government and country as resourceful and capable as US, a time for explicit reckoning has come. The entire world need that America's leadership founded by your great leaders of the past. Show to the world that it still exists and lead the world by examples, good and befitting examples. Let those examples embolden other nations, and let humanity revive.
Let there be peace on our beautiful Earth!
