When you cried last time and, if no secret, for what reason? The last time I cried was a few days ago. The reason was some heavy pictures on the TV-news. Children suffering from the horrors of war. Life is indeed unfair, some of us live secure lifes with little or no unsecurity, while others have to struggle so hard just to get through the day. It really breaks my heart to see people suffering.
There are some events during our life, when it seems as there is no way out. That could be tragic circumstances or such assessment of them. At that time, what's the thing to do? I guess the time when my father died (some years ago) was such an event. To loose someone who you feel you can't live without is so hard. But we just have to get through the pain and sorrow. So what did I do - to be honest I really don't know. But I just had to be patient, to use the time needed to get through the pain. And though I still miss him dearly, I have learned to live without him being around me. So what's the answer to your question? Well, maybe to use time, and not try to go ahead any faster than your legs can carry you.
Could you please choose any event of last days, weeks or months, that has distressed you? It can be any happening on a local or international scale. How could you comment on it? To see the pictures of children in pain really distresses me.
There's always a new danger watching for humanity in its way, always a new temptation we're ready succumb to. What's the danger of our days? And what's the way to avoid this trap? I think the biggest danger of these days is to not take into account that we all are a part of a global system. And that we all need to hold hands and join forces to move ahead in the right direction. But as I see it, we all are getting more and more aware of the fact that we all are dependent of each other.
What are the main obstructions to apply humanities principles at our today's life? Could they be solved? The main obstruction is I guess the fact that the world still has a lot of "black spots" where the principles of humanity still are not implemented. We all just have to work to make the world a better place. To stay, and to fight against political systems who are not able or willing to use human principals as a base for their actions. And I really do believe that we can make it happen together, by holding hands and join in a mutual crusade against cruelty and evil.

| Great country you're living in, Christine! I'm sure, for the most of us is almost impossible, to see the children suffering by war at the daily TV-news.... |
