Shockingly this is all due to
terrorists’ threats; US citizens have also been advised to be cautious when
traveling in those countries. Emergency numbers will be available for people to
get any needed help if necessary.
These potential threats are
real as stated in this news clip: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-embassies-close-sunday-amid-terrorist-threat/story?id=19845743
Upsetting and concerning,
whenever we forget that we are still at war in many countries we get news of
another soldier dying in another country and then we get news of the above to
remind us that although it is nearly a dozen years since 9/11 things are not
that much different, since that day and the days following…when we know this
is.
Do you feel safer than that
day after?
We are told daily that we
should feel that way with the Homeland Security taking care of us and all the
technical equipment they have to check when or where these possible threats are
and if or when they are coming here.
The date of this year’s April
fifteenth when the Boston bombings occurred and killed and maimed once again on
our shores, how many of you took a deep breath when you at first were told these
men who perpetrated this most recent horror were not the foreign terrorists
that killed and maimed our brethren on 9/11, but our own homegrown ones?
Although, it was later on
that it was partially disproved, since there was a connection with the training
the older brother had while visiting their parents abroad and the brain washings he brought back for his
little brother.
We as any other nation have
the right to live our lives without fear.
And feeling safe is the most
important thing for any human being.
Sadly, whenever I feel as you
do too more than likely that we are doing better, that is with caring about us
as a civilization, and than reality hits and ruins that! We have very far to
go; genocide is still being committed in too many places in this world… and
must be stopped!
I wish it weren’t so.
And as foolish as this may
sound I thought that perhaps this international social media thing would not
only make the world seem smaller, but make us realize how much we all truly
need one another… IDEALISM!
But it should not be dead,
idealism that is.
Hatred, killing, maiming,
diseases, extreme weather affects they should all be dead, but not the caring
for one another!
Every time these
announcements happen I wish I knew what could be done to change it, but some
things cannot be done alone, we do need the world to help to stop this hatred
of people not accepting others for who they are.
Religion!
Organized religion specifically, has been the root
of many disagreements creating wars since time immemorial, but we still have
not learned to live in harmony with understanding all our differences.
Example: Years ago when I was
putting together a fashion show for a non-profit, while the men models were
getting their haircuts a casual conversation ensued and one stating honestly
zealously his beliefs and me stating mine too which were counter to his, since
one was a Jew, me, and one was a Christian, he, and so left in a huff, since he felt that no matter
how much he tried to talk me into his way of thinking if I did not believe as
he did than he wanted nothing to do with me or my fashion show, ridiculous!
If we were nations we would
have been at war due to that, but why?
Some do not want to meet in
the middle or the more correct reason is not being able to accept others for their beliefs; not being the same as theirs?
That time I could have lied
and agreed, but what good would that have done? You see, it isn’t me anyway…lying
that is. A nice man filled in the last minute.
And no religion should have
to compromise by lying to them or others either, just learn to accept that
everyone has their right to believe in a faith so long as it doesn’t tell
people to kill, hate or maim others, right?
I know the recent hate
organizations are out-shoots of the ancient religions that are more peace loving;
they too try hard to separate from them.
We must know all the facts
before we judge too harshly.
Oh I don’t know I must have
watched too many beauty pageants as a young girl and teen, since all I really
want in life is, PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TOWARDS ALL MEN AND WOMEN! REALLY!
Fix it world, just fix it! NIKE IT!
On that note of a tall order,
allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and
ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with
you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
