This morning when I left my house to go to work, I had to pass through burning tires and people obviously agitated throwing stones to passing cars. I had to walk because there was no public transportation. Since I work in a NGO, we can not have the senior citizens and children waiting without being welcomed and served.

Finally I arrived at work, where I still am.

I don’t think many companies are functioning, neither schools or shops opened. This is a day of demonstrations. So some parties called their people to stay home, others encouraged them to continue their daily lives. But apparently, this demonstration is not so peaceful as the national TV: LBC points out. There is violence from both sides, injuries and of course “loads” of pollution from the burning fuel and tires.

Mind you all, I do not talk politics because I am not interested at all in politics. What interests me is “Human Rights”, in all its aspects. People have the right to demonstrate, every person has the right to express his/her ideas. This is quite normal.

But I keep wondering…WHY do people oblige others to join them in what they call “their cause”? Why is there no freedom and are people prohibiting others from going to work? It is fine that some try to obtain certain goals, but why dragging others with them who prefer to abstain from any political act?

Can we then not co-exist? It is a pity!!!

The bible verse of today is from Proverbs 3,3-4: Do not let mercy and truth leave you…. Then you will find favor and much success in the sight of God and humanity.

We have gone astray!
