I'm not in any way able to comment on this Matt.

A lot of it I was aware of over the years, but we humans have knack of reading things, events not in our back yard, being horrified at the time, then going on our daily business consumed with that, busyness.

Horrifying things are going on in our world right now, much of it Putin-related, but most of of it is greed and power related, and we in the 'busyness' group, far away from the action, and for the most part safe, put our blinkers on, because we simply have no idea what to do.

Watching war on television where we are removed from the brutality, but still in the show, is not for the faint of heart.

We each have one life.

For some it is short.

For others it is long and fulfilling

And depending on where you live on this planet, some babies and children are being snuffed out like candles.

The megalomaniacs will stop at nothing. Get rid f Putin and somebody else will step up.

And peaceful countries by contrast, build up their weaponry in the event of wars happening on their shores.

There' something radically missing in this jigsaw...the part in the middle where we sit down and talk to each other.

The part where we give and share, and come together in our humanity.
