    Trying the Pakistan thing again...

    65 people killed, 300 injured, death toll expected to rise after suicide bombing carried out by Pakistan branch of the Taliban, on Sunday.

    It was specifically intended to hit women and children in a kid's park.

    We know this is taking place in all counties - US, France, Brussels, Turkey, etc., and is a global problem these days. Let's not let ourselves get used to it.
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

    testing response....

    EDIT: Success!!!
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

        The sheer violence and hatred in the world scares me on a micro and a macro level. The media isn't giving this the coverage it gave Paris or Brussels, and that's sad too.

          Yes... They pretty much skipped the recent one in Turkey as well. I guess America and Europe matter...

          There were six people shot here in Kalamazoo, Michgan (yeah, it's a real place ) in a mass shooting by a guy who thought he was being mind-controled by Uber (he was an Uber driver who picked up & dropped off customers between killings).

          There is just too much of this going on to take in.

          Oh, and there is a petition going around to allow people at the Republican national convention to carry guns. In one sense, I get it - perfect place for a terrorist attack. In another sense, though, I keep thinking about the Trump mob... What could possibly go wrong?

              And in Burma, Buddhists are killing Muslims.

              There's no end to it.

                  Maybe the population just needs to be culled and restarted.

                    And yet people still make out that it's Muslim terrorists vs Western World God's Own Country.
                    I'm not one to ever pray for mercy
                    Or to wish on pennies in the fountain or the shrine
                    But that day you know I left my money
                    And I thought of you only

                      Is the ISIS affiliated with the Taliban or no?
