#ourworld
22 March 2016
As artists I feel we have a responsibility to reflect our times and send a message of hope and encouragement for making our world a better place. News of another terrorist attack has reached most of us, this time Brussels airport. Over the last weeks Ankara, Grand Bassam and Istanbul (probably more that I am not aware of) have been attacked too..
The common reaction around me is one of hopelessness and fear. And a deep sense of powerlessness “It’s just getting worse, there is nothing I can do…what is going to happen to my world?”
What strengthens me personally is my belief that I will carry all my good and bad actions with me after death. So if I try to focus on doing the best I can to be a good person and extend that to my community wherever I can, than in the end I can leave this world with a good conscience..
Everyone obviously has their own way of looking at the world, I would be interested to know what gives YOU hope and strength to carry on, even when confronted with devastation.
Be safe, don’t loose hope.
Love and Salam
Isabella
