I agree, there is no word to describe the scream and pain of a 250,000 people dieing, in each city.. I think that no moral right came from this and its just a glimpse of the wrongness of American overseas intervention... Why they need to tamper in other countries nowadays is silly. What are they trying to protect, more terrorists ok sure.. Do that undercover without killing citizens. Fucking idiots. Since Vietnam there's over 1 million unexploded American mines leftover in the neighbouring coun

Often great sorrow ought to be handled by abandoning the old idea of the self and by flowing toward the direction of positive feelings which mark the cures for life, the good things upon which to build a better future. One of the good things can be to serve as the memory of the world, but with wisdom yes, not dwelling on the bad sides but by remembering the situation, the sorrow and the things to avoid and by learning the wisest ways to avoid such things anywhere in the world.

Her eyes look as if she had associated with very wise people - did the wise people go to "cure" the victims, why not to cure the causes of aggressions on both sides? Pacifism isn't the answer, since it means giving power to the more aggressive ones, but moderation is wise: One should always avoid taking sides and one ought to see the reality as it is, the good and bad on both sides, and build a better world.
