Humanity?

I am not sure where we went wrong.

We see people but not all are humane.

What happened to peace, to harmony, to respect, to solidarity, to empathy? What happened to love?

There is injustice in each and every country, continent. Events so bizzarre that we doubt not only our capacity to love, but the human capacity to think.

We must re-think and re-evaluate our human attitudes towards the planet and towards each other. We are walking away from the humane society we should be evolving to be. We are becoming something else and it doesn´t look good.

We should be more like nature, more like the ecossistems that surrounding us, because there we can see that what doesnt comply to the laws of life and love, is doomed to extintion.

………….

Não tenho certeza de onde erramos.

Vemos pessoas, mas nem todas são humanas.

O que aconteceu com a paz, com a harmonia, com o respeito, com a solidariedade, com a empatia? O que aconteceu com o amor?

Há injustiça em cada país, continente. Acontecimentos tão bizarros que duvidamos não só da nossa capacidade de amar, mas da capacidade humana de pensar.

Devemos repensar e reavaliar nossas atitudes humanas em relação ao planeta e uns aos outros. Estamos nos afastando da sociedade humana que deveríamos estar evoluindo para ser. Estamos nos tornando outra coisa e isso não parece bom.

Devemos ser mais como a natureza, mais como os ecossistemas que nos rodeiam, porque ali podemos ver que o que não obedece às leis da vida e do amor, está fadado à extinção.

It’s a jungle out there


Beasts are running wild.

In the dark, hiding 

their sharp, pointy teeth, 

Disguised in smiles 

They roar.

They are out there, 

All around, everywhere.

They are hungry 

and always hunting. 

They are dangerous, 

mischeavous, 

sneaky.

Merciless, they will act behind your back

But they will also attack on daylight

If they can, they will expose your guts

crush your bones

Slice open your very flesh

They are beasts, they feed on carnage.

They are cruel, they are selfish, they have no scrupples.

They can even pose as puppies, but make no mistake, they are not

Its just a matter of time before the beasts show their claws,

Push you from the edge, betray your trust.
Meanwhile, in the real jungle,

Animals are living in organic harmony

Despite hierarchies, strengths and territories

They are aware of their place and role in nature

They understand their instincts and rules of survival 

They carry on, finding balance between need and will

They respect the ecosystem, themselves and other species.
BEWARE: Humans are difficult to be [trusted].
