I just learned about the death of a niece! 20 years old, came home and fell down dizzy like, after testing it was found that she had tumer in her brain and never knew about it. She died not even knowin how or why, she died a good death! But how does one console the family? Her husband? her mother? I want to say "please celebrate her life, not mourn her death" But here in Iran, the very notion of this kind of talk is looked down upon. I can only show sypathy and stay quiet.
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
