Good morning or goodnight #owls?
Well, i think we live in a unique timezone where we make both night and early morning our peak hours. Maybe im not alone in this but yeah, i always have different series of thoughts immediately its midnight and definitely there is something strange about being awake at midnight, thinking about the world.
For me these are the best hours, i love how everything around us becomes quiet at #midnight when the streets slow down, no noise no activity, lights turn off one after another and when everyone is sleeping then id unleash my superpowers but for tonight its pretty different, i feel the same way about my night but something changed, i just realised that at this same moment somewhere else in the world, war is still happening. Very dark!
I know im a #midnight soldier by staying awake and pitting work and discipline into myself but somewhere tonight the real soldiers are awake, not because they want to be, but because they have to be! Now they are unlike me, i am up by my choice while they are compelled to stay up fight and monitor territories. Somewhere else some families are experiencing the worse nightmares without sleeping, they listen to sounds outside their homes wondering if tomorrow will be peaceful or not or if they are gonna die this very night.
War always feels distant when we read it in headlines or when we see the news, most times when we talk about it its alwsys more of the statistics, maps, and political arguments, we are made to be blinded by particular situations or scenarios that makes us think of the war as a game thats not so serious or easily megotiable but when you sit quietly at midnight and really think about it, you remember that every conflict is made of real people and real lives, i just thought about the people of Gaza they are real humans but do the world care?

The strangest thing to me about thid modern world is that humanity has achieved incredible technology, knowledge and communication but somehow war still finds its way into our history again and again! So i keep asking myself whats the essence of civilization? Do civilized and modern humans kill themselves or just ubdertand eachother? Its so crazy how we can speak each other’s language and communicate easily but we still chose to kill ourselves from distance…
Well, maybe midnight is the time when these thoughts come more clearly, for me during the day we move too fast to reflect on things like this the best we do is to keep scrolling, leave a sassy comment or exit but when the night slows everything down, the mind starts asking deeper questions about the world we live in thats why right now i cant even swipe but just lost in thoughts wondering the pains and fears of affected people.
If i become the #midnight president for one night i would compel us all to answer those quiet midnight questions as they are very important. Sometimes reflection is the first step toward understanding how the world could become better so if you are awake this midnight, please stay with me and think about this..
