In our society, there is an old belief:
If you curse someone, it comes back to you.
Menstruation never passes away; it lingers in the air, circles back, and eventually goes back to the one who spoke it.
When I consider Western politics today, I see the very same curse at work.
Policies born in the parliaments of Europe or in the workplaces of Washington do not vanish right into thin air. They travel– via battles, via markets, with refugee boats– and one way or another, they return to the extremely cultures that produced them.
The Echo of Background
Years back, empires colonized countries, drained their sources, and left behind scars of department.
Today, these very same empires call themselves freedoms, yet they face waves of migration, terrorism, and instability– the mirrors of their very own past activities.
Equally as menstruation return to the one who says it, the instability Western powers when exported has actually located its way home. Evacuees at European boundaries are not unfamiliar people; they are the repercussions of Western diplomacy. Violence in the Middle East is not a mishap; it is the shadow of interventions performed under the banner of “flexibility.”
The Impression of Neutrality
Many individuals in the West think they are innocent.
They state: “We voted. We pay our tax obligations. What happens abroad is not our mistake.”
But silence is not neutrality. Silence is permission.
Every single time a resident looks away from arms exports, from unreasonable profession systems, from the adjustment of weak nations, they enter into the cycle.
It is like standing by while another person casts the curse, and afterwards pretending that you had none in it when menstruation returns.
The Chains of Worldwide Politics
The world is a chain. Each web link is tied to the following.
• A war in Syria trembles the economic situation of Germany.
• A dry spell in Africa is attached to climate policies in the U.S.
• An oil handle the Gulf changes the future of an entire European generation.
Yet, people still hold on to the illusion that they live in separated bubbles. They commemorate their freedom as if it exists apart from the enduring it indirectly develops.
However democracy without obligation is simply one more mask for narcissism.
Real Expense of Silence
The curse of Western national politics is not simply what it does to others– it is what it does to itself.
• People grow numb, living comfortably while others deprive.
• Generations inherit debts, both financial and moral.
• Societies lose their humanity, changing compassion with ease.
And afterwards, when crises arrive– when migrants flood the borders, when rising cost of living rises, when physical violence touches their very own cities– individuals ask: “Why us? Why currently?”
The solution is straightforward: menstruation has actually returned.
Damaging the Curse
There is just one means to damage a curse: awareness and action.
Western cultures have to see that their success has been built not only on advancement and freedom, but also on exploitation and silence.
To remain quiet is to hand the future over to the very same mistakes that poisoned the past. To speak, to act, to require liability– this is the only means forward.
Since if background shows us anything, it is this:
Curses never disappear by themselves.
They fade just when the truth is encountered, and when self-respect is recovered– not simply for one country, however, for all humanity.
