Building walls If I had to summarise the last decade with only one word I would use "wall". In the last century, after WW2, we tried to demolish as many walls as we could; I am not only referring to the famous Berlin Wall: the UN was formed, the EU was born and a series of political and economic deals were signed. We had the Cold War, sure, but even then there was a clear sense of unity: East vs West, not everybody against everybody else; furthermore, I am sure that no one ever thought the Cold War to be of any good. What about now, then? Why are we forgetting where divisions brought us? Does the proverb not say "Unity is strength"? Yet the UK is leaving EU, a choice that - at least for now - is clearly damaging its economy; the USA is losing interest in foreign politics and the president himself talks about building walls. My own people want to reject desperate refugees that are escaping from war, because they think they will steal their job. They, a group of extremely poor people that comes from absolute poverty and often does not even know the language. *They* will sit in our offices, sell to our costumers, treat our patients. As if. Others think they will increase the crime rate, and yet there is no statistical evidence of that other than the media igniting this belief for a couple of extra views. I know this is a controversial topic, but this is exactly the reason why I want to talk about it: we are normalising division, celebrating it, even. Will we only unite when, as always, time will bring us the bill to pay?
