a) I live in the "west" (fed mostly by its media).
b) I have visited Ukraine and I have some Ukrainian friends.
c) My heart goes out to all the ordinary (innocent) people for what they are going through at the moment.
d) I have strong empathy. That's why I am following this deeply what's going on around the clock.
e) I haven't done it so for all the other happenings.
f) I probably wouldn't feel at the minute, if it was now between China and Taiwan (or almost anywhere else) like I have not done much for all others happened in last 10-20 years or the ones on going for decade(s).
g) I am ashamed of myself.
h) I have not had enough empathy in other situations.
i) Though I didn't support when the "west" had a mission to bring "democracy", I was not feeling this much for people there or I was not much expressive.
j) Also when those innocent people from another recent event were fleeing away from their home, I was not attentive enough and I was silent even when "west" started negotiations towards the financial help/compensation per each head kept away.
k) The western hypocrisy is in me too.
l) What right do I have to make difference between innocent people here or there?
m) What right does UN have to act differently for invasion here or there?
n) This is not to justify what's happening now.
o) This is self criticism if not more.
p) I am ashamed of myself that I didn't feel like this when it was not near home or at where I have already been.
q) I am ashamed of myself that I start thinking about those wrong-doings of mine (if ever) after the action is taken, not when those massive weapons are produced or international deals made for them.
r) I am ashamed of myself that this time I was even afraid of that "the west" get in the picture/field instead of just some (probably non-affective) sanctions.
s) I am ashamed of myself that I felt even happy about that, so this doesn't escalate into world war. Most likely, it is just because before pandemic is out of our/my life fully, a world war comes in.
t) This is to criticize myself for that I didn't pay enough attention (if not doing more) when it is not in the/nearby "west".
u) Human is human.
v) All 8 billion of us! Though probably I am not there at full extend yet.
w) No life is worth more, none less!
x) History is full of wars, but when is it the time that we take a step further than "stop the war"?
y) When is it the time we - ordinary people - massively/unitedly stand against investment/production of weapons in the first place?
z) I am ashamed that the hypocrisy exists already in the individual level. Disappointingly I am on that ship too.
