And while on the one hand diplomatic offensives are being rolled out, and inside the country the circus of court proceedings and media coverage of them continues, on the streets of Bosnia and Herzegovina's cities we have repeated cases of brutal violence, murders and other forms of serious crimes. According to that, this society, one would say, is in no way special and separated from other contemporary societies. Such things, to put it simply, happen and are a feature of our world and way of life. However, if we follow the path of what is the reality we live in this country, and if we bear in mind the extent to which those who govern this country generate violence in the public space as the only valid pattern of behavior and action, there is no doubt that the connection between what in our reality, we can very well find what happens with generated violence in public space. If we look at our entire post-war reality, we will see that wartime violence, death and destruction was succeeded by peacetime violence, which as such leaves devastating and shocking impressions on the entire social community in which we live today.
The state of war, therefore, has passed, but deep in the core of this state and what is happening in it, it remains as a mentality that we have not yet tried to get out of, nor have we tried to overcome and overcome as a collective. In other words, the untreated traumas, the disregard for the general atmosphere and the way of life led here have brought us to a point where, although the war is thirty years behind us, there are all the right conditions for the germination and development of the darkest human urges. Which in their brutality manifests itself in the most extreme forms of taking lives, endangering general safety and bringing unrest to the already sensitive, neglected and insecure existence in this community. Everything is, so to speak, on glass legs, everything is fragile and endangered to such an extent that it threatens to collapse and disintegrate beyond recognition every day.
The general destruction of social values, set from the top down, the rejection of humane and philanthropic principles, the collapsed education system that produces young people who are not ready to truly grapple with existence and work on cultivating their own horizons, are constantly pushing us towards the cliff in front of which we face again and again every now and then we stumble and frantically grasp at the straw of salvation. How long will it be like that, how long will there be that one straw of salvation in our stumbles, is a big question to which only time will be able to give an adequate answer. What is most worrisome in all of this is the fact that at the level of the entire country there is almost no systemic concern about what we are doing today to leave this community and its young people in a safer and more carefree environment. What are we doing in order to wake up tomorrow in a state that changed its priorities of ethnic exclusivity and violence as its governing principle, and instead established an inviolable struggle and the value of every single human life.
Current impressions tell us that we today have actually done everything and continue to do everything to create conditions that only favor the extremism of circumstances, the additional devaluation of life and the neglect of all those humanistic principles on which a happier vision of the future should rest. Tomorrow, when we again ask ourselves why the horrors we witness happen to us, each of us should think carefully about our own actions and role in what we leave as a pledge for the future. Without that kind of responsibility, I'm afraid there is no illusion of a happier and better time for us.
