“Let us shine together so that the darkness disintegrates.
Through community across borders, our world becomes more colorful.
We have hundreds of languages, we hope for help in times of need.
Our faces are a thousand colors, but our blood is always red.”
[ – RS Ansbach, Marco Ganzmann – ]
I am usually not writing about any political stuff but I think it is about time to change that – at least for this post…
Lately more and more I am getting scared how the society of the world changes. You can see more and more people having anxieties, about how they shall manage their lives. In that condition it is easy to blame other people for the misery instead of realizing that is something that can be changed in a different way. In Europe right-wing radical political parties getting more and more votes and follower. Racism is more relevant than ever.. again – SADLY!
I grew up with all kind of kids from all over the world and I do not remember, that back then it ever was that way, that people pointed with fingers on people coming from other countries. That people got yelled at for trying to escape from countries with war and try to find a new home. I was raised to show respect to fellow humans anyway what their skin color is, where they came from or where their ancestors were born – it just did not matter, we are all humans after all!
We should remember that all countries experienced and experience war and many people flew and found a new home somewhere in the world. Why we now make a difference? Did we not learn out of history, to what that leads if we go against others in such a way? Can we not try to solve problems together instead of going against each other?
In such times, when you kinda feel it is hopeless there are always people who have the creativity and the strength to stand up and stand out. There was a project in a school not too far from me, and I know some of the people who helped to realize that project. I just HAVE to share it here, too! It is a song written by a teacher and his students, performed by students, school-band and choir. If we have still kids who think that way and are strong enough to stand up against racism – there is hope!!!
It is written and sung in German but I tried to at least translate the chorus (at the top) to make clear what it is about. The video is impressive, very professional and I guess it does transport the message very well
“Our faces are a thousand colors, but our blood is always red.”
Please stay human, stay strong, raise your voice and keep the hope that times will change again and people will realize that we only can survive TOGETHER!!!
