There are many many issues we need to solve in our world. sometimes it seems impossible to imagine they will ever be addressed let alone eradicated. It is the human condition that we are constantly in a state of flux, a seemingly never ending battle with those who behave in a manner that most of us know is wrong , dangerous, harmful or purely evil. Even collectively we fail to stop the madness that engulfs the world. The focus shifts from one tragedy to another and a never ending litany of brutality and death. We ignore much of it, it’s not our problem! Ukraine is on our doorstep so naturally it has become the most important conflict for the West. Yet there are many that have been festering away for years and years and never get reported. It has been said many times and not just by me that the so called Western powers are responsible for much of the unrest in the world, the sins of history reflect badly on many so called civilised conqueror’s. Britain has a long history of assisting countries and in recent times joining our “partner” the USA in invading and fighting against injustice and terrorism. What good has any of this “interference” resulted in? Afghanistan back where it was, a brutal misogynistic regime under the Taliban. Libya a mess of civil unrest and collapse. Syria rife with civil war and many factions who want their cause to prevail! Wherever we poke our nose in, a bloody trail is left as when we withdraw because political pressures or just plain fatigue has brought to the point where support is no longer our priority.
As individuals all we can do is keep our families and friends safe. If we do not wish to get involved then we must I suppose keep quiet. Which is why I write. It is my way of expelling the thoughts and opinions that would otherwise swamp my tired observation of world events and clog my mind!
Stay well
