Living in Emergency

How is life, when you have to constantly think about being alive? When all you care about is the essentials? It's like you are running all the time, you are running for your life, you can't stop but run constantly, just so that you can stay alive for one more day, one more hour, one more minute, or even for one more second! I always wonder, how is life in emergency? I think living in emergency brings the best out of people. When you survive a war, you change completely. War teaches you: what is being human, it's about caring for others, it's about kindness, it's about saving others' lives. Fighting a war and living through a war is living with a great mission of saving lives and fighting for a great cause.

My heart goes out for the people in Syria, so many of them are dying everyday. Talking to the Syrian people here in the US have been a great experience over the past few months. They are always concerned about their families and friends back home, they are trying to do everything they can to help out. I m fortunate to meet and join some young Syrians in Boston, who are using all their efforts in organizing and participating in activities to establish human rights for all!!
