I think the Western ...Hello and thank you Musique.<br /><br />I think the Western society as it stands is bombarded with images of glitz, glamour and superficial banalities to distract people from the growing horror of what is done by those that really wield power. <br /><br />It’s like a cheap conjurors trick- watch the shiny lights they cry while in the other hand they’re executing Bambi with a chainsaw.<br /><br />The hypnotic trance is no longer working for so many. There are a lot of growing pockets of people that ‘get it’. The long planned for collapse and grab for ultimate control is just about ripe. <br /><br />In depressing times, not all is doom and gloom. We are a strange species. In harsh times we often find compassion in the most unlikely of places.<br /><br />The pills may be bitter but they may be like the medicines of old. The worse the taste, the better the cure.chuckymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681464671810238080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540303957546334545.post-51096217148369919542011-09-21T07:26:45.517+01:002011-09-21T07:26:45.517+01:00Hi Chuckyman,
My deepest condolences to you.
Yo...Hi Chuckyman,<br /><br />My deepest condolences to you. <br /><br />You're so correct about the conception of death in the west. I think that it is getting worse everyday with the worship of youth and beauty in the media. Don't we all know who really control the media? Naturally, they make the rest of us to swallow the bitter pills with 'em.musiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100012877701947044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540303957546334545.post-90369984953666244732011-09-19T21:21:50.747+01:002011-09-19T21:21:50.747+01:00Thank you all for your kind comments.

The hardest of losses are those where we do not get a chance to say our goodbyes - when possible futures are snatched away in a moment. I’m sorry also for your loss.<br /><br />It really is a time to put a better perspective on the events in life and in the world at large. It takes a heart of flint to not to see the suffering in others.<br /><br />As for the paid killers Kev I think the penny drops for the decent ones eventually. As for the rest let hell mend them.chuckymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681464671810238080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540303957546334545.post-66153720633604124812011-09-19T16:58:19.461+01:002011-09-19T16:58:19.461+01:00R.I.P.

It is always hard to lose someone we care about even when we know it is a release from their suffering. <br /><br />"As technology progresses the greater the distance between the killer and the killed becomes. You can’t see the whites of their eyes from 20,000 feet. You can’t see their fear and their pain. There is no contact with the human you are killing."<br /><br />I think is bang on. I never allowed my children to play violent video games which, in my opinion, was prepping them for the real time dehumanized killing our technology facilitates.McJhttp://www.winterpatriot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540303957546334545.post-5327016026481430842011-09-19T04:41:13.174+01:002011-09-19T04:41:13.174+01:00Poignant thoughts, Chuckyman.

I recently found out...Hey Chuckyman,...Nice return. I recently found out that I had lost a dear friend. During a period of separation several years ago, I moved into the spare room of a friend. Across the common driveway lived a young single mum, a very pretty brunette called Karen. Karen had two young boys, Mitchell and Corey, each to different fathers. As I would on occasion have my daughter for the day, it wasn't long before Karen's youngest, Corey, who was only a year older than my daughter, started to play with my daughter in the common area between the apartments. I was not searching for anything at the time, however, I was enchanted by this carefree and laconic young woman. We developed a close friendship and on occasion after putting the kids to sleep, talked broadly and with passion about the world; we did kiss now and then, never actually consummating the relationship, things were complicated.<br /><br />Three weeks ago I bumped into a young mum that lived downstairs of Karen, she asked me if I had heard about Karen, no I said, quizzically, I hadn't had any contact with Karen for about 18 months. The young mum then told me that Karen had died three weeks hence of cervical cancer after a short seven month struggle. The moment froze me, I had recently come across a number of pictures of her whilst housekeeping my old document files, and had also(!) watched as her cellphone number was transferred from my old SIM to a new Phone.<br /><br />Please excuse the convoluted nature of this comment; however, I was shattered by this News. It was a moment that grounded me in the here and now, since that moment, every death I read about or see as a graphic image during my surfing of the Net, reminds me that a 'life' is more profoundly attached to "LIFE" than its own single mortal coil.<br /><br />You have my condolences, every life is precious...we have to win this war against the tribe of murderers:<br /><br />FREE PALESTINE!<br /><br />veritasveritas6464https://www.blogger.com/profile/05652634161424162750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540303957546334545.post-31320332132037105782011-09-19T01:32:22.479+01:002011-09-19T01:32:22.479+01:00Peace to your friend.
