Lukas and Salome Augustin surprised in this video a part of Afghanistan we never get to see on the news. Between foreign forces, explosions and terror, it seems that the time stood still for a moment, allowing them to portray the Afghan people and their daily lives in a vivid and serene manner. Afghanistan is not the first country to be torn apart by war and fleeting ideologies and the Afghans are not the first people ever to live in fear, disillusioned and with a low self-esteem either. But we are all humans, and while mistakes are part of our lives, we should also try to learn from the past. Watching this makes me feel we generalize too much, believe more than we should in the impartiality of the media and mistake the people for the ones who rule them way too often.
