An Open Letter to the People of Aleppo, Syria

You are in the middle of a battlefield. You are made to choose between 2 sides of ideologies. You are made to endure the fighting between the 2 sides.

One day the war will be over, as all war goes. Survive as much as you can, with your humanity intact.

Remember that even the Jewish Holocaust, the Bataan Death March, the Vietnam POW camps have their survivors. And these survivors live on to have a good life and made humanity proud.

Good luck to all of us in 2017!

An Open Letter to All Combatants and All Governments

You have a belief, a philosophy, a personality, or an ideology to defend. But yours have been offended by some one, some group, or some government, and you feel you must defend it. I do not know what to say to you.

But remember that you are made human the moment you were born and you were made to belong to the family of humanity, where every one of us belongs. We are all one family! We are all brothers and sisters!

Please do not alienate your family. Please do not alienate your brother and sister. Please do not alienate each other and please do not alienate me.

Let's celebrate one another in 2017!

John Sindayen
