DEATH, DEADLY THAN DEADLIEST

amidst so much happening in this world that is all about killing and hatred and torture or misery, where is the place for life?

ponder just how the media, wars, the prison and defense industires down to the coffin-making, thrive around deadly than deadliest death…, just how, humanity is killing its own?

share your sadness on the thought of death as it is brought on prematurely and heartlessly on this world.

best,

Re: DEATH, DEADLY THAN DEADLIEST

Today when you hear about civilians dying in Iraq, Palestine and other war stricken countries, all you hear is the numbers, I feel that this has made people so accustomed to hearing about death that in actual fact it has made all these deaths sound meaningless.

I think the use of these figures in the media has made it all less shocking to hear, and to a certain extent faceless. For example saying 10 civilians died is not as moving as describing a mother who lost a small child in a bomb blast. The real facts. God forbid, but hearing about 15 dying here and 20 people dying there has made this act of killing the norm.

Unless we gain truth an understanding of what's happening around us we are less likely to raise concern or interest.

**Death meted out by Dictators.............very easy to explain.............a twisted mind...........gone haywire...............

Death/War Voted in after much deliberation by Democracies..........especially set in motion by enlightened civilized peoples....and then allowed to be perpetuated in some leaders minds for 100 years on end.....................HARD TO EXPLAIN..............:(
