so much has been going on... and there's so much to comprehend but it is not easy because it is beyond what we (the royal 'we') can imagine...
my thoughts go to those who are trying to escape the bombings and have no say in whether they might live to see the aftermath of the on-going crisis, or to live with the injuries, or to see their love ones dying and dead, or they themselves catching their last breaths.
meanwhile, iraq continues to struggle with unrests...
as if the manmade deaths and violence are not sufficient in the turbulent mid-east, mumbai's train-bombing last week added more doubts to the idea/possibility of peace.
even UN-peace-keepers are short-staffed.
and the current headlines overshadow other chronic humanitarian crisis... remember Dafur? the news don't really highlight enough of the trouble that's out there... there's also on-going trouble in sri-lanka, cambodia, just to name a few.
it is frustring to read the news these days; most of the headlines and reports are sad, shocking, and disturbing. it makes me wonder how we could be so inhumane to each other... we do not appear to communicate these days, if we appeared to do so before, we might have merely done so on cordial terms or for the benefit of ourselves...
or perhaps it is more appropriate to say that we do not wish to listen... in many countries there remain little dialogue between the state and their citizens... let alone between nations.
soon, even natural disasters will engulf us all... because it's no good to make us learn... we just don't.
the current sweep of the human toils in china and indonesia are the replay of variations of the same theme... warnings and symptoms of global warming...
warnings of self-destruction.

Just have to look out for the nice and wonderful things in life...just to re-assure us that there are still stuff that might be worth calling miracles...

oh! i read about this; maybe an asteriod 'fireball' enormously huge is needed to wipe clean the whole earth of humans... so that the remaining creatures can start from a clean slate...
