Good morning Middle East! Ya Allah today we woke up. We are alive!
Two sanctified days ahead of us, to give us time to reflect on the question of how sacred is the "sanctity of life". Is the "enemy's" life less sacred than my own?
When we think about ourselves, we always excuse our "doings "blaming our circumstances... But when it comes to the "enemy", or simply to "the other", we manage to make his/her "circumstances" disappear. The "other" becomes "plain evil". This happens on both sides...
It is "their problem". Why are they the way they are it is THEIR problem. Well... I am gonna give ourselves some news: it is not THEIR problem. It is OURS to, for t is affecting us.
So if for a moment we can stop our predictable way of thinking and put ourselves in place of the other, may be we can even realize, that this reality we both managed to create, is holding us together in a way that is well worth sending a prayer to the "other side". It could be the start of our own salvation.
Jumma Mubarak! Shabat Shalom!
