'Things left undone'...
What, pray, might all this say about #God?
- Cares: but cannot act or influence?
- Cares: but will not act or influence?

"All of that means nothing if those places aren't safe."
From 'I, Lord', @nellhardyactor's play; really important theatre, I reckon...

Hmmmm! Don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but it jarred seeing that white 'X' on here... Replies to 'X' posts might best be made on 'X', perhaps‽

What a pathetic failure of politics, the contemporary world, leadership, governing arrangements, of us as a species… proven with every bullet and missile made and sold and bought and ‘given’ and loaded and fired...‽

Here we are in 2024 and need these words spoken for all to hear. Is there anyone that will listen though and feel what it means to live in a Democracy? The majority of Voters showed they don't give a damn! That is what makes me cry!

Oh for a leader who might say:
"Possibly when empathy and compassion is stifled by selfishness and sectarian passion – all our hearts are a little more hardened and parched up"

In March '23 ‽istis wondered whether perhaps there is a way forward for the over-developed, developed-at-others’-expense nations‽
Possibly a restorative, post-colonial, de-colonising agenda of reparation and restitution‽

‽ Perhaps when ‘the richest 1% own almost half of the world’s wealth, while the poorest half of the world own just 0.75%’ and ‘81 billionaires have more wealth than 50% of the world combined’- we are all being robbed?
