I turned my TV.on this morning, quite indifferently,on Euronews Channel. I suddenly saw many people,standing unmoving, silent, heads bent down, young and old, very sad Japanese faces... A monotonous and sad bell sound was being heard, accompanying this spectacle of complete silent distress...
My stomach felt like a heavy stone, tears started running down my eyes...
I started sharing these humans' distress, mind and body...The same profound distress I felt watching the American Towers falling down on fire, the Spanish collecting their dead around the trains, the Londoners mourning their lost loved ones, the Irakis crying over their killed children, the killed young American soldier boys, the funerals of dead Palaestinans and Israelis, the Holaucaust scenes....
What is this? WHY?
Since the ancient Babylonians,and even before, the Human Race commits a constant suicide! Who said that we learn by our mistakes? The Human Histoty teaches us exactly the opposite! Because this arrogant tendency of controlling others is an ever present force in certain powerful , miserable humans...
And me, lost in the serenity of my colourful garden , taking pictures mesmerized, like an innocent child running playfully after colourful butterflies... Please ,dear God, I don't want to feel so guilty any more...
P.S.
I'm sorry, dear friends, for my deeply emotional writing style...
But I still can't help feeling guilty, because --for example-- some people right now, have houses (with their beloved gardens) being totally destroyed, either by the extremes of Mother Nature (:hurricanes,floods) or by bombings...But, IT IS sad, isn't it?? |
