Reply #133: who are 'they'??? many of 'them' are 'us' if

[Bluerthanblue]

you ask me-

And who says 'they' hate us? other than this administration??? Its easy to say what others think- its harder to know what is true, and trustworthy.

Hatred is not the opposite of love, it is a part of being 'connected'- the opposite of love, the thing that will really destroy us all- is apathy- it is the ability to hear that Darfur is happening, to see what our fellow human beings are living through, and turn the page, or turn the channel, and not be deeply disturbed- disturbed enough to DO something about it-

We see so much of the suffering that exists in this world thanks to technology- yet we feel unable to change things, and numb our minds with unimportant things- while people suffer and die all over this world, and we piss and moan about the price of gas, the infringement on our 'rights' the newest scandal in this 'hellywood' society..... politics, policies, possessions, prestiege.... all the while people are dying for want of the very basics....


sorry to dump on you- we care so much about 'being safe' but neglect those who die by the thousands every day.... not in a blaze of glory on a plane, not in some big media event but slowly, somtimes silently slipping almost unnoticed out of the circle of life on this sad weary earth.
