37

37 what?
No, it's not my age.
Could it be the 37 years that passed from the Six-Day War?
Close but not!
It's a prime number, right?
Yes, but 37 what?

I'll give you a hint: 37 out of 52.
52 might be a deck of cards but 37? Maybe 36!?
No, 37!
I don't know any game with 37.
It's not a game though some might take it as a game.

Can you play it just with cards?
No, they usually play it with guns!
And who wins?
Nobody!
Ok then, who looses?
37! ... and 52 ... and ...

They played with guns, 52 died, 37 were children, only 8 survived.
Their ancestors killed Jesus just because he taught people love and peace.
They are killing now innocent children just because they can.
Who's winning? Nobody. Who's loosing? All of us.
We loose our self-respect seeing that people like us are capable of such horrible things.
We are wandering what's still human about the human being.

Is 37 just a number? Just a quantity? God, NO!
37 represents the fine line between man and animal.
37 represents the dreams we broke each time with our arrogance.
37 represents the measure of our impotence.
