"Just a world that we all must share; it's not enough just to stand and stare. Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?" - Pink Floyd, On the Turning Away
I think that you will like this song. I certainly do. I heard this song for the first time only recently, and it is now one of my favorites. It also fits in perfectly with what my class is currently learning about; today we saw videos of interviews with Malala Yousafzai, a political activist in Pakistan who has been speaking out against the Taliban's oppression of schools for several years through a pseudonym on a blog. She was shot for her actions, but recovered when the world united in her defense; doctors from across the globe helped her to recover. Meanwhile, her message was carried on by supporters in Pakistan and surrounding countries, and the world stopped turning away from the tragedies in Pakistan that Malala had been trying to raise awareness of. Malala still carries on her battle for women's education in Pakistan to this day, even though she is living in Britain, because she saw that she was living in just one world that everybody has to share, and that the futures of those women who need that education are linked to the futures of everyone on the Earth. Malala is still calling everyone to recognize that, just as Pink Floyd is, and to stop the turning away.
