How immensely grateful I am for not
- Starving to death
- Being relentlessly bombed
- Fleeing a despotic regime
- Being trafficked
- Being tortured
- Being jailed for insulting the King
- Being conscripted
- Being a slave
How immensely shocking it is that a dubious embrace at a Coldplay concert gets as much attention as the destruction of Gaza. How immensely shocking it is that a film star's revealing dress gets as much attention as the bombing of Ukraine.
How immensely envious I am of those young children who know nothing of all this and still believe the world to be a kind and altruistic place.
Nick, Snoopy is always wise ! . The world is watching Ukraine , Soudan and Gaza without much. empathy. As a German Jew I am so ashamed about what happens in Gaza and the governments trying to minimize People close their doors and those who protest are very often punished. It's a desperate situation.
ReplyDeleteSaïd has lost all hope and it is so sad to see him mourn.

Hannah: It's appalling that the police are arresting people simply for being present at protest rallies. Whatever happened to free speech?
DeleteYou expressed it well, nick. The entire world seems to be twiddling their thumbs as genocide is committed in Gaza. It doesn't seem to be much better for Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteSandra: As you say, people are twiddling their thumbs and not doing enough to end the dreadful carnage and destruction.
DeleteI agree. The fact that human beings can be so awful to other human beings is so sad.
ReplyDeleteMary: And the totally innocent are so often caught up in some atrocity they have nothing to do with.
