Always the story is same

Monday, December 19th, 2005

Things Happen in this world which make no sense sometimes. Basically it makes you feel tired listening to death and despair from tsunami to poverty, from terror to war. This nihilism has to stop! But there is hope which comes from the very places which fall victim to this madness. From the rubble of the Twin Towers, the wreckage of a London bus, the bloodied glass across a Tel Aviv street, and among the Mothers searching for their children in Baghdad, that a common humanity asserts itself. Extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness become commonplace. The impulse of solidarity overwhelms fear and help comes from strangers. With every healing gesture between strangers we feel a candle of hope has been lit in a dark world.

But what are our concerns poverty, climate change or terror? The story is always the same, the story of human faliure which only gets more and more evident from a child sleeping hungry or someone getting killed by someone…but there is still hope….or is it?
