Obituary to 298 Strangers ...
At the moment there are countless conflicts happening in several parts of our planet.
A thing that made me personal reflect on what humans are able to do to each other is the launch of a passenger plane high above the Ukraine some weeks ago. On board of this plane were 298 people. Many families, doctors and last but not least more than 80 children died during this horrible crime. All of them have been on their ways home, to an AIDS conference or to their summer vacation. Maybe you ask yourself now why people are able to launch such a plane for no reason. Well, it sounds as stupid as true but the way things are going is that this was a horrible and brutal confusion. As you surely already noticed there is a war going on in the Ukraine between those who feel more connected to the Russian government and the rest of the country. These separatists claim independence from the Ukrainian government because they somehow want to belong to Russia. During their fight against the Ukrainian army they accidentally thought that this airplane, that crossed the Ukraine, was an Ukrainian jet fighter. Due to that, they fired at it and killed all those innocent people. What makes me vicious the most is that all of the separatists who committed this crime pushed away the responsibility of it and expressed that this was not their fault. Obviously, this wasn’t true but nobody is able to take the frist step to apologise for or regret this horrible and incredible crime. My only hope was that after this happening all the different parties who are involved into this conflict reflect about the “sense“ of wars again. But by the looks of it now, the conflict continues and nobody is ready to bring this war to an end. At the end of the day, 298 people including more than 80 children died although they aren’t involved into this conflict at all. And even worse: their sacrifice changed nothing at all.
