So. HOTWU!

HOT WU.

An introduction.

No. It’s not HOT WU. I don’t know what WU might be. And it doesn’t stand for “Hackers of the World United”. I thought that was pretty funny when I saw it on the web. No. This one is HERATS OF THE WORLD UNITED. HEARTS. A visual symbol of Humanity. Humanity is ONE. There’s 8 billion of us, but one Humanity. Four hearts for the four Races of One Humanity. I believe it’s pretty extraordinary that this idea is appearing at this moment of seeming crisis.

The story has been going on for a lot longer than we can even imagine. And possibly it’s not even a story of humans. There seems to have been a time when humans didn’t exist. But now, here we are. After thousands of years, at what looks like a critical time. It almost looks like a time when we have to look at ourselves and ask: “do we really think we can go on like this, or are we subconsciously destroying ourselves?”. A large portion of us just struggling for survival while the luckier (?) ones are immersed in entertainment and raw consumerism. A very broad generalization, I know. But you know, it sort of looks like that.

And so this symbol, this concept of the hearts of the world united, it appears to be pretty timely. Maybe the question now is do we think humans are good enough to try and save, or are we satisfied with simply being a cancerous growth destroying its host? It does seem that our pollution is fueling the Climate Change which in itself is a cyclical event which might or might not drive us into extinction, but if we as humanity don’t try to remedy this situation, then all these other issues will become irrelevant. Now, at this point of time, I believe the importance of the Me Too Movement, the pandemic and Black Lives Matter is in showing us that we are all involved. We are all responsible.

Hearts United. Really very simple. We make the world. The Corona, by putting all of us in the world into solitary confinement, said; “Get to know your Self, Human!”.
