in times of crises we are all guilty of fanning flames of blame for it's just GOT to be somebody's fault but nature just is nature doesn't care who you are where you live what you lost what you must do to recover it just is the nature of nature to perform and the blame if any always falls upon our own heads for what we did or didn't do but how does one anticipate such a disaster as this? the pitiful sight of babies without food or diapers elderly diabetics without insulin young people without hope and all the abandoned animals? we saw this face of reality in Banda Aceh recently and were horrified we reached out and gave what we could shaking our heads and saying thank god it wasn't us and here we are today it is us and nature still is just nature and we curse her and the government for the state we are in and in many ways, we have a right to flame and lay blame at the feet of those who did not respond quickly enough, and yet? will flames of blame claim more lives in the end? |

"will flames of blame claim more lives in the end?" It will if who is to blame is not punished for not doing their duty to their country, and to humanity in general....but I will not wax political here, The history of human blame must be laid out in facts leading up to the event, in a place like the "alley" I believe that you will never cool down completely, Kacy...at least I hope not- You are a keeper of the flame...but one must take time for meditation, the garden of the mind needs cool breezes to refresh it, to clear out thoughts that don't belong, regroup and gain the strength to once again stand,and pump the bellows... Carry it on, my friend....the load is heavy but there are many of us who share your burden... Peace--------ice ><> |
