Empathy is the hope of mankind

Do you think there is justice and justice in the world?

What is the biggest commonality between people? empathy. When one person is suffering, sad, struggling, breaking down, angry, happy, can another person feel the feelings of others immersively? The biggest connection between people, in my opinion, is not race, country, culture, and other backgrounds, but this empathized feeling. Without this feeling, it is hard to imagine any hope for the future of mankind.

Take a look at the data of human trafficking.

An estimated 2.5 million people are in forced labour (including sexual exploitation) at any given time as a result of trafficking. 1.4 million – 56%-are in Asia and the Pacific.

The majority of trafficking victims are between 18 and 24 years of age

95% of victims experienced physical or sexual violence during trafficking (based on data from selected European countries)

43% of victims are used for forced commercial sexual exploitation, of whom 98 per cent are women and girls. 32% of victims are used for forced economic exploitation, of whom 56 per cent are women and girls

In 2006 there were only 5,808 prosecutions and 3,160 convictions throughout the world
This means that for every 800 people trafficked, only one person was convicted in 2006.

Around 2000, an American policewoman was sent to Bosnia to perform a UN peacekeeping mission. During the period, he discovered that there were young prostitutes in various pornographic places in the local area, all of them were trafficked from various countries in Western Europe. Local police, government, United Nations peacekeeping organizations, and contractors of the US government are all involved in this streamlined crime. While she was searching for evidence, his investigation was officially banned by the top US government. The reason is that the US contractor is forcing the US government to exert pressure and intervene in the investigation at the cost of billions of contracts each year. In Ukraine, Romania, Czech Republic, Belarus, Bosnia and other Western European countries, these young girls are sold to other countries in Europe and America by various means. Vendors can receive 2,000% of profits every year. An American pimp can make a profit of $250,000 from a young prostitute. In this incident, the group company, the US government, the United Nations, and the local police government have all become accomplices in human trafficking. Many of them even participated in the sale of women. One of the young girls was abducted from Ukraine to Bosnia. She was killed on the spot because she promised to testify for the policewoman. The next day, a group of ruthless Bosnian policemen were smoking a cigarette and chatting nonchalantly with such a young corpse found in the outskirts of the wilderness, looking leisurely at the beautiful life exorcism in front of them, just like watching a dead mouse. Many young girls are like this. First they are insulted, gang-raped, sexually abused, destroying their spiritual will, then become a sex tool for making money, and finally killed or sexually abused to death.

She publicized all the inside information in the UK, and none of the local police and UN officials were prosecuted and punished as they deserved. Everyone was just dismissed. Those US contractors who participated are still enjoying the profits from huge contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The policewoman is still out of work. . . . . This incident did not cause an uproar in the media. . .

At this time, I am angry. I like this feeling.

If there is no empathy between people, it is hard to imagine that human beings can have any hope to continue. When you see this girl being insulted, sexually assaulted, persecuted, gang-raped, killed by a group of men, you may feel a little uneasy. When hearing those hoarse screams, I can hardly imagine that an ordinary person can still drink tea and eat in peace! But then, because we feel helpless and unable to do anything, we try to tell ourselves, is this something on the other side of the world? This has nothing to do with our lives, so can we only sigh? So, on this side of the world, you are living a boring and mediocre life, on the other side, millions of young lives are ruining in an environment that you can't imagine. Everyone who has feelings like you is experiencing a life like hell every day, even if we can't do anything, there is no excuse to ignore it.

Group companies and universities have a course or noun called "business ethics". Do you really think there is a concept called business ethics in the world? Does business really have ethics? There is only one purpose of business, which is shareholder's profit. All it does is to maximize shareholder profits. Ethics has become one of their most ethical reasons to make those consumers feel that the money they spend is at ease.

Do you think there is justice and justice in the world? Where? (Don't tell me its in the LAW)
This question is very thought-provoking, but I am not interested. Because I don't need to look for justice and justice.
Regardless of whether there is justice and justice in this world, we don't need to look for it, because searching means that we rely on others and the outside world. These values ​​need to be created by themselves. The justice and justice created in this way belong to oneself. This kind of moral law is above the law. One's own moral law can fight against the whole world.

Why has human trafficking become the fastest growing and most profitable crime today?

Why do more and more people become so-called "modern slave owners"? Especially men (in China, on average, one in four men is involved in the sale of sex)

Why does the media ignore these major issues of torture and ethics that really involve the interests of excess release?

If there is no justice and justice in the world, what would you do?

The farther you go and the longer you go, you will find that the world is worthless and people become meaningless. And why should people exist? One of the reasons for existence is to create a value that does not exist in the first place, but then belongs to itself. Let these values ​​become common values, there is hope.
