So much violence in the world...
= new reply since forum marked as read
July 27
I have great hopes that the world may become a better, more peaceful, more equitable place in the twenty-first century. From my own experience, at 16 I lost my freedom, at 24 I lost my country and for the last more than 50 years have faced all sorts of problems, but I have never given up hope. We have a Tibetan saying, ‘Nine times fall down, Nine times pick yourself up.’
as we both have realized -- violence: thus it has always been, thus it will always be.
can't remove it from the World; can only remove ourselves. i know how you feel.
just came out of the same blues myself, few weeks back.
take it easy & take care (~)
How about yourself marasinghe?
(except the weather; but i'm ok with that.)
cowabunga!
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
