The" haves" and the "haves not"


I can't believe my eyes, my heart is aching, my eyes are crying and my soul is really frightened. i used to be the kind of person who isn't interested in news, i simply do not read nor watch news. i thought it is just a waste of time. but it is not. the news carry all that happens around us. the news are heart aching and breath taking. it has been three days since I've tried to follow the news. and what is the result?
1- me starting a blog to write about the catastrophes happening in Egypt and all over the world.
2-me having pain in my heart and a severe headache for 3 days.
3- feeling frightened and being afraid to the extent that i couldn't sleep at night.
of course you are asking yourself now why all that? many of us follow the news and we dont feel the same.
yeah....
but the problem is not in politics nor the regime or things like that.
the problem is that most the news revolve around the same point...the haves and the have nots. the have are playing the game together and the have nots are paying the price.
the haves are doing all that is beneficial to them no matter how that could affect the have nots. the haves are climbing the ladder with their shoes over the heads and the necks of the have nots.
so as not to be saying just feelings i would what i saw and read in the news that lead me to this conclusion.
1-AL3ABARA, after the death of more than 1300 people whom are all poor people with no networks and no one to care for, the Egyptian court has sent free "bara2aa" the owner of the company of the ship who was known to be the first to know about it and did not say the ship is sinking in the sea but said it is lost in the sea.
the difference between both, is that when the ship is lost he would be able to take millions of pounds from the insurance companies rather than only sinking (according to the news)
also the captain of the ship was only given 6 month of prison and was able to pay 10,000 pounds instead. this man had the opportunity to save the lives of hundreds of people at that time and all the witnesses said that he didn't on purpose.
2-ELDWA2A, the death of hundreds of people who were living in the mokatam in Cairo as a result of the fall of parts of the mokatam on them. it is known that this is a result of lake of maintenance, the responsible people know that there is a problem and no one cared to do anything about it cause there are such a bunch of very poor people who live there and no one really cares.
i don't know what to say more, people are dying every day.
what should we do?
God please bless us all.
