Thursday Thought

"You must not lose faith in humanity.  Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."
-Mahatma Gandhi

"There are causes worth dying for, but none worth killing for."
-Albert Camus

"Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime."
-Ernest Hemingway

"There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people."
-Howard Zinn

"The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them."
-J.R.R. Tolkien

"No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war."
-Eleanor Roosevelt


My heart is breaking with what's happening in our world.  It's not just about what's happening in Gaza, it's also because of North Korea's threats, those plane crashes and disappearance, and let's not forget the bombings and shootings all over the world.  What happened to humanity?  What happened to us?  What triggered us to become these monsters?  I don't know all the truths, but with what I've been reading, we're all crazy messed up.  I know this blog post isn't gonna solve our problems, but I just want to put my thoughts out and shed a little awareness.  Even just a bit.  It's crazy how some of us, including myself, are complaining about silly things while hundreds of people are being bombed at in their own home. *sigh*
