It is unfathomable that chemical weapons were once again used on the
Syrian people? When will this madness end? To hear of the deaths of
the innocent, among them children, and to then bear witness to the ensuing
suffering of the survivors by way of graphic news and social media full-color images is almost
overwhelming. One wonders if we, fellow citizens on this rapidly
spinning Blue Planet, will all become callous to such atrocities in
order to maintain the frivolity of our seemingly important 'everyday
lives'? To say my thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the Syrian Chemical attack, followed by victims of separate terror attacks in London and Russia over the past
week, no longer seems to BE enough? I am left wondering, how many of us have become complacent in a
world gone mad ......
One is left wondering: In
today's crazy world, does the ability to separate what "we think" from
what "we feel" become crucial to our ability to continue to
function 'normally' in the face of the unthinkable???? And if so, are we then okay with this new normal?
4/7/2017 Been thinking some more on this terrible atrocity executed against Syrian people, and it occurred to me that the Russian government gave assurances it had worked with Syria government to dismantle and then to subsequently remove the Syrian government's chemical weapons stock-pile. This recent chemical attack is clear evidence that the Russian government, by way of Vladimir Putin, failed to live up to the commitment it made in front of the United Nations. As such, this failure would seem to constitute grounds for Russia losing their seat on the United Nations Security Council, either a temporary suspension or even a longer term removal.
4/21/2017 Yet another attack in France, Paris, near the Champs D'Elysees. The destruction and death continue in a battle where no one truly ever wins.
