We should care for people everywhere!

 I wish that all human beings were more caring of other people independent of ethnicity, culture or beliefs. I am firmly against the apartheid system that Israel has carried against the Palestine people, and the obliteration of Gaza. The genocide of innocent women and children that Israel is carrying out for the whole world to see, will be remembered as one of the most cruel acts of violence from one group of people to another in the history of mankind. I would never blame Jewish people for the atrocities made by the unpopular government of Israel and their horrible leader benjamin netanyahu. There are many Jewish people that are praying for a ceasefire, but the person calling the shots, netanyahu, wants to eradicate all Palestine people. He is a truly evil man akin to an adolf hitler in my opinion. He is a world leader none of the US presidents have got along with, with both Trump and Obama despising the man. The part that makes me feel particularly guilty is that the majority of weapons Israel is using to conduct this genocide come from the US, so we Americans are partially responsible for these heinous actions. The US should support a ceasefire and push towards a two state solution. Israel should abandon the apartheid state it currently has, where the discrimination of Palestine people is part of the law and part of the military's official duty is to routinely terrorize innocent civilians.  The Palestine people should be able to govern themselves through democratic processes.

When is it morally just to cut innocent people off basic needs like water and food? How can you justify bombing hospitals and killing innocent medical doctors trying to save lives? You cant, unless you are heartless, or see yourself superior to the people that are suffering. All Lives Matter not just people that share social identities with us. We need to have empathy for those in different social groups. No one should accept or tolerate the concept of genocide, no matter the groups involved, especially when it is being conducted with US weapons and aid. I rather see our weapons defend freedom and democracy (Taiwan and Ukraine) and not killing mass amounts of innocent people in Gaza. Our tax money should be go to boosting economic development or building much needed infrastructure in the US, to dig us out of the dangerous GDP to Debt ratio we have today. At the end, we all need to see things for what they are, and overcome our own innate hatred for people different than ourselves. Instead we should all love those who have different values and perspectives in life, and wish them the best possible life circumstance, because at the end of the day we are all only human beings trying to pursue a happy and healthy life.

Death is the exit to life

    There is a natural human desire to survive and live forever, but all life eventually comes to an end. Life by definition includes death although some exceptions like cancer cells and  Tardigrades are found in nature. I believe that when we die, it means the end of our existence hence I do not believe in an afterlife. For a long time, this made me sad, since I grew up Christian and thinking there is a heaven. More recently, I see death as a positive thing nowadays, since it is the end of suffering and the only path to real eternal peace. I do value life more than death and desire to continue to exist, especially for my family who needs me, but I no longer fear death nor see it as a negative as I used to view it. Death is a necessary part of life that we will all go through eventually, so you just have to enjoy life as much as you can while (and if) you have good health.      If there is an afterlife, I would guess that there would be suffering there too,...

The beginning of Fatherhood

  I am a new father as of December 7 to a wonderful baby girl. I have felt a profound love for her while my wife and I were pregnant, but now I am head over heels for her. I wish nothing more than to give her the best life possible, which includes making hard decisions to benefit her. Her birth has triggered a huge shift on my mindset, and I want to be able to provide her with all the opportunities possible. I am so thankful to have her in my life and I am ready to do anything to make sure she will have the best upbringing possible. I hope she serves as a unifying force for my wife and I, so that we can provide her an environment where her parents love and respect each other. I hope to mature as a man and human being, since I recognize my faults and weaknesses and hope to become a better example for my daughter to follow.

Traveling expands your perspective

 Living abroad has really improved my perspective in life, mostly because the limits of culture are plain to see. Culture shock was not new to me, even before traveling abroad, because I had experienced culture shock as a teenager within the US. I spent most of my childhood living in a very diverse part of the US, where most of the people in my neighborhood were people of color. Then I moved from a neighborhood full of people of color into a neighborhood full of white people, which was a huge culture shock for me. I remember trying to make friends with my white neighbors, and most of them ended up bullying me (presumable due to being the only non-white person present). Luckily my high school was somewhat diverse, so I found nicer white people and other people of color to befriend later on.      Getting back to the point, my time traveling has really allowed me to see the limits of my own form of being and how dependent that is to the culture one belongs to. We are al...
