In today's world, it seems harder for our minds to pause and reflect on the events happening around us. The overlap between the injustice happening around the world and more widely celebrated events—be it popular culture, media events, or trending stories—continues to pose a challenge for human beings' one of the fundamental traits that is so crucial: CONTEMPLATION.
We live in a world where certain events that capture the public eye seem to swiftly take precedence over the grim reality of profound injustices, which struggle to maintain a visible place in our collective thoughts.
We live in a world where reflection on what's happening around us often takes a backseat. Sad events need our attention, but they often have to compete with things that are more popular and temporary. When faced with realities like devastating conflicts or humanitarian crises, they struggle to stand out against the buzz of trending topics that quickly capture everyone's focus.
Every individual has a responsibility towards justice. Our initial response to it should be an inner quest to comprehend and explore our world. It becomes necessary for us to seek knowledge and actively speak against injustices. And, for all of these to happen, what is needed from us is CONTEMPLATION.
But in a world where the news swiftly changes towards celebrations, where is the space for contemplation?
