Refuge for refugees

Everyday millions of people around the world are forced to flee their homes. They have to leave everything behind and look forward to a bleak future, if they have a future. Can you imagine leaving behind everything you know and love? And be forced to flee inorder to survive? Well, I can't imagine it. The refugees who flee not only do they leave their homes, but their families too. Families are torn apart with the uncertainty that they will ever see their loved ones again. They have suffered tremendous loss in the process. Some have nothing and no one left to return too. Others have to live with their grief. But they still show considerable resilience. The story of refugees was all over the media. Refugees looking for refuge. Some were welcomed with love, others hate. The world seems to see refugees as a bad omen. Unwanted, Terrorists, just because they are fleeing terrorism. But can't people see that they are ordinary human beings looking for new homes for their families?  for their children, for themselves? Everyday I wonder if I was in that position what would I do? Probably the same thing. Instead of opening our hearts to these refugees, these people, we do exactly the opposite by closing our hearts and our borders to them. Somehow the refugee crisis is portrayed negatively in the media. Is it negative to look for a better life when you have nothing left to go back to?? It saddens my heart that this is the state that the world has come to today. I stand with refugees. I am supporting UNHCR's #withrefugees Campaign. And I think that people should do too. In the end,  we're all humans and we need to help our fellow beings regardless of who or what they are. We should treat them humanely. Refugees or migrants, everyone has a right to life. And a good one.  So go to www.withrefugees.org and show your support by signing the petition so that our world leaders can act towards this crisis. I STAND WITH REFUGEES.
