Patience

Yes, it's long. It's slow. You need patience. Imagine the patience of this pilot. Imagine the patience of the families of the people in the video. Imagine the patience required not to pull the trigger.
Music is Sigur Ros' "Untitled 3" from the Album " ( ) "

Thanks for stopping by. Remember we've always got eachother, and even when you cry yourself to sleep the sun comes up. :)

I don't know what to say... It makes you cry...

Where is this taking place?

[feet77]

It is footage from a bomb-camera deployed from a USAF bomb in Iraq. The original footage is slowed down (trememdnously). Apparently the pilot fires the bomb into a crowd of civilians. On the original footage you even hear one of the pilots chuckle and say "Oh, dude..." As the people are blown away.

I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What god desires is heart and and by what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man. Or not.

Some 4 hour after my reply to Dwazzle - Yes, I am sad, frustrated n angry that my whole life I have struggled with 'someone else's' wars. But my own feelings are a 2nd layer of hurt now. Must perceive things beyond this immediacy to get to Forgiveness. A new take on Love. A question about my Faith.

Tried to send my email add. n could not! I'm sorry, we have to stay in the virtual space. But new fruits n their seeds are in the basket already. Many thanks!

Wow! What a pleasure to follow your line of thoughts! It's hitting home here. I had turned my pc on earlier to continue browsing on Youtube's Buddhism ... had no idea of what it would bring. I was asking for it. Thank you for the package! Thinking about the not-so-hidden meanings of this. YES!

Amazing, I have felt the music background, too, as at service to the almost hypnotic moment when good n bad lost distinctions. Ha, 'saved by hope' - recently I have felt that it was all that I was left with. I dreamed of a new me when my son was born n I quit sailing to be a real present father, 25 years ago. Now it's about their future kids, etc. N I do have crisis of faith. A lesson here!

[CesarBrauer]

WOW! Oh my God, it feels like I bumped on to you in one of the places I used to go and light would explode. Then, suddenly I would take in the immense feeling that no body was different at the core. I am so grateful that I learned English as a young teen, a passion I had 'without knowing why then'.

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.Therefore, we are saved by love.

No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;

Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness

[oldbananas9]

and with that said and listening to this music in the background Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime, Therefore, we are saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;Therefore, we are saved by faith.

who you are today is shaped from those bitter and sweet event throughout your life and how you learn from each one of them. as e. hoffer and r neibuhr said, "The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves."

THANK YOU AGAIN!! Your posting heals. There's the inherent goodness in all of us. Remarkable exps. w/ people @ countries I visited while on the Merchant Marine, England first. 15 years in the US and I only believe it, even more now. Yes, the mystic chords n the better angels of our nature - I want to accept events, bitter ones n sweet ones, as my personal lessons. Your posting is a sweet one, and I am learning, OldBananas9! :) THANK YOU AGAIN!! I won't forget you! TimelessBananas9 :)
