People are good. The systems we live in make us crazy.
Last week I wrote about a family in Gaza, living in a tent city overrun with vermin. A few days later, two men from The Gambia reached out. They are low-income, fighting to keep their own families alive in a poor country. Yet they wrote a heartfelt letter of support for my Gazan friends.
“Reading about the hardships she and her children endure in Khan Yunis breaks my heart,” one wrote. “No mother should have to watch her children suffer from hunger, insects, illness, and the constant uncertainty of life in a tent.”
He offered a welcome if the family could leave Gaza. “Our country is peaceful, and our people are known for their hospitality, kindness, and respect for others.”
The writer’s name is Buba. I met him on Facebook years ago, sent him small sums for business ventures that failed. We lost touch. Then this message arrived.
Buba is one of five or six siblings. Their parents died young. Their grandmother raised them in a one-room shack. When she died, Buba took responsibility for all his younger siblings. Times got very hard. Now he is caring about a suffering family far away.
His brother Jhon also wrote: “As I am reading this story, tears are dropping from my eyes. God knows what I always feel whenever I read about the suffering of the people in Gaza, especially your friend G and her children.”
These are poor people in a very poor country. If they can feel blessed, shouldn’t we?
English is their second language. They could not write like that years ago. I suspect they used an AI writing program. Much as I hate the tech billionaire class, I appreciate how technology can bring people together.
It is not just technology. They have both become devout Christians. Faith has the power to change people and keep them strong in the face of oppression.
Social media has immense power for good and evil. Anonymity encourages some to speak viciously. The vast majority of posts and comments I read are from people trying to be helpful. Some lead to real-life help.
People are good. For those living reasonably well in developed countries, I encourage you to find friends in the global South whom you can learn from, and to support those in need financially and politically.
