Who or What Are You?

I had just stopped by the kitchen to get a hot cup of coffee. While pouring my coffee, I enjoyed the warm September breeze blowing on my face through the open window. After pouring the coffee, I cut a slice of the peach pie I had baked yesterday. The huge olive area I could see through the pumpkin leaves tangled in the bars of my kitchen window still seemed as noble and serene as ever.

Came to my desk and sat in my comfortable chair. While my laptop was opening, I also turned on a solo piano that I have been listening to tirelessly lately and put on my headphones. While the music was penetrating my soul in waves, I was opening a new Word document at that moment. One of my two cats, Snow, got up from where he was lying down, came to me, and climbed onto the desk. He seems to have abandoned himself to a peaceful and sleepy comfort. Ash is in his usual place, on his pillow in front of the window, sleeping soundly, and snoring occasionally.

I can calm my soul with this peace that I can experience every morning. I can forget about the rest of the world and just sit in my own circle of peace, eating my peach pie and taking another sip of my hot Irish coffee.

And I may hate myself for all of it!

Should I take another sip of my coffee when there are storms brewing inside me when every musical note is scorching my heart? How can I take a deep breath with peace and say, "Today is going to be a wonderful day?" How can I lean back in my chair and pretend like it's an ordinary day while my fingers are roaming around the hot coffee cup?

Is there anything that can stop the boundless evil within mankind?

Is there anything that can stop the cruelty and betrayals of this dark age?

Human history is full of incredible ups and downs. Can you imagine an era in which evil would say, "Enough, I'm giving up, this is it!?" Of course not. This would be a complete utopia in the dynamics of life. Evil will never stop until the last second. Sometimes it will be violent, sometimes it will be strategic, but it will not stop!

Ask yourself how you feel when children and innocents are hurt.

Ask yourself how you can stand it when animals and forests are being massacred!

Are you ashamed of being human?

Do you ever shed tears when you see cruel photos and read cruel news in newspapers, on TV channels, and on social media every day?

Are you ashamed of being human?

Ask yourself these questions while sipping your drink on your comfortable couch.

Who or what are you?

At least…

If you have lost your hope, remember that there is hope to find it again!
