Letter from a Stupid Idealist
Dear Powerful Leaders of this strange world,
This letter comes from a Stupid young man that cannot understand the world. I am shocked from the complexity our insignificant planet has built on itself. Or maybe I should write the complexity we have built on it. I can understand that the human race is not linear, does not follow strict rules. I can understand that from a complex mind the only thing we can expect is a complex method to relate to the others. I can understand this, but what I can’t is why we are overcomplicating the already complicated things?
I am not whealty, rich or important, therefore I cannot understand why the power requires more power every day, the money requires more money every day. I cannot understand why we are not looking at the easiest fact we should: the common wealth will solve this overcomplication. Don’t fool me, I do not think for a single moment to tell “let everyone become rich“. If my neighbour would have the bread to feed his children, if he had the money to make his family live without pain, he will never try to steal what I have. this is a basic fact, neither you can deny it.
Now, I do not understand why you, leaders of the human nations, does not work to grant wellness of your population keeping in mind this simple rule. My neighbour is my friend. If my friend is suffering I can help him. I shouldn’t be envious of what he has, I should be grateful for the help he could give me. The helping hand that everyone, sooner or later, need. So why the first hand is not yours? Let the nation around you grow stronger, help them developing their ideals. One day they will be one with you in helping another one!
I know that I am simplyfing the issue a little bit. I know the complication, the different views. What I can’t accept is the fact that too many times this helping hand is not given because of a stupid Greed. “If I have a lot I could have more!“. Yes, everyone could. Yes, there is no limit to the wellness. Yes, this thought is Greedy and Selfish.
There is a couple of neighbours. I don’t know why they are Muslims. The woman has cute eyes, but I’ve never seen her hair. I don’t know the Koran, but I can see they are happy. The other neighbours couple is Christians. The man is righteous and he doesn’t eat meat on Friday. I don’t know the Bible, but I can see they are happy. The fact is that for us, the sugar never runs out, because we help one each other. We lend a helping hand when one of us is in trouble.
Me? No, I’m not a Muslim and neither I am a Christian. Maybe I’m agnostic, maybe I’m atheistic. But it doesn’t really matters. I help my neighbours. I respect them, even if they have ideals different from mine, even if they have a strong faith I have not. Am I lesser than them? No. I am like them, because we share the same world.
Why, dear Powerful Leaders, don’t you think, for a while, about your population? Don’t look back in anger. If a helping hand would have come before, 9/11 wouldn’t have a special date. If a helping hand would have been lent before, the children of your neighbours wouldn’t have died, starving for a crumb of your wellness.
This is a harsh thought, I know, but please forgive me. I’m only a Stupid Idealist, and I really can’t understand the world you are leading. I can’t understand it because it could be so easy.
Lending your hand, receiving a smile. Lending your hand to the brother you have forgotten. The brother that, maybe with the skin colour different from your, will lend his hand to save you when everything will turn wrong.
