grrr… emotional today
i think my own sense of loss, over the bombing in london among other things, is coming in the form of anger. anger that we’re so blinded by our own anger even. ironic as that is.
i just wish people would increasingly see how interconnected we all are, how the world is getting smaller and smaller every year, how what we do in one part of the world effects everyone now, and how there’s just no more room for hate or indifference or selfishness. on ALL sides of the current conflicts - in palestine, in iraq, in america, in israel, in england, in russia, in ireland, in india, in pakistan, in china, in tibet, in afghanistan, in both koreas, everywhere. without those realizations all of our collective suffering will increase and increase. who wants that for anyone?
as a species we’re just not that bright, we keep doing things that make our suffering worse not better.

True enough. The reality of it is these atrocities have been going on all over the globe for years, and it wasn’t until that faihful day in 2001 that North America was able to see what other people half way across the world have been experiencing on a daily basis. The fact that it happened in London doesn’t surprise me, if the “leaders” of this world want to change things they should worry about what is going on in thier proverbial “backyards” rather than sticking thier crooked noses in places they don’t belong.
