These past days, all of us have heard the stories of pain, suffering, death and horror left behind by Gaddafi, his family and his soldiers. The picture of the nanny of two of Gaddafi’s grandchildren with her head burnt and full of open wounds was horrible. She came from Ethiopia and has been working for one year without a salary, to receive only beatings and be poured hot water on her head. But the pictures of the charred bodies in a warehouse in Tripoli are even worse.
How is it possible to become so inhuman and so devilish? The war is always horrible! Civil war is even worse. But how can one sink so low as to inflict such suffering and destroy so many lives! It seems as if by falling one wants to bring down everything and everybody.
Time and again, we find similar stories, anywhere in the world, whenever there is conflict. It seems that human beings never learn how to become humans. Human power easily becomes totalitarian power, which oppresses and destroys. We must accept that only God is God, and that only God puts everybody in his rightful place.
