Refugees are welcome

World is at war since its very beginning. After humans started forming communities the world was at war that never ended and never will end. I will leave out of my text the reasons since I find it foolish to discuss the principles of stupidity which rule the globe for the last humans-known-to-walk-the-earth years. 
Middle East is a troubled place where thousands of people were and still are in need of finding a safe place to live in. Mobility for a resume might be a pro but that doesn't really apply to real life. Many Palestinians left their homeland after the Israelis invasion- yes this is how I'm gonna put it as an invasion- to flee to Syria to seek for a better place for their children. Syrians had a relatively stable country not by our European/western civilization democratic standards but that another thing I'm not gonna discuss; because in the end you cannot interfere and judge other people's culture, principles and ruling.
Lately, refugees flee from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq to travel to Europe. And here is the thing: refugees do not want to leave their countries to go to the holy land of Europe just because. If ISIS wasn't screwing everything these people have I doubt that they would enter boats in the middle of the night with their children (born and unborn) to cross the Aegean Sea to reach a country that is falling apart with a vicious goal to steal the natives' jobs/money/etc. 
I personally never understood why anybody should end up drowned at the sea shore of any country before we take action. 
Human kind needs a little push I guess. And since we all know that thousands of people are drowned somewhere across the Mediterranean Sea- which is just one big cemetery of souls- but we do nothing, all we seek is the proof of what happened to feel agitated by the tragic story of "the desperate people who tried to cross the sea and drowned". 
Humanity reaches its shittiest state. 
We are acting like less humans and more beings. 
People are not just numbers. 
People are not illegal. Illegal is the word used for materials, substances and generally "things". 
Go tell your kid a bed time story now about how the 3year-old baby drowned along with his brother and mother in the sea and how his father suppose to live with it. 
It's only until we become the refugees to understand a refugee.

I am sorry for being human and less just being.
