The orderly North Korean society appears, at first glance, to be together: but the dividing line between those who lead and those who are led is as clearly defined as the imbalance of power. The chosen crowd watches a military parade as a third of their fellow countrymen watch their families die from malnutrition.

The self-destruction of Syria continues unabated. The world observes but does not intervene. No oil there. Nothing worth fighting for. Unlike Iraq, Kuwait, Libya...
The lack of sincerity will continue to fuel the fires of resentment.

And countless human beings seeking freedom...
...while countless others seek the opposite - their minds locked in dogma, superstition and, worst of all, religion.
But life goes on in the hope-filled minds of the innocent who share their gift with obliging friends...
...and in the life-long companions who share their undying love.

...and never before have so many helped so many
A sign of the times? What do you think?
:)
Do we get sick of helping? I think we do as I'm suffering from it myself. Since childhood I was one of those kids who collected for charities, bike rides to raise money...you name it, we did it. Into adulthood I helped my daughter do the same because I thought it made her a better person.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm feeling old now..and grumpy.
Not enough help where they should, most take more than their share and dont seem to care...and I'm getting sick of it.
Hahaha, old and grumpy? I think old means grumpy
DeleteI think the North Koreans prove that losing religion doesn't necessarily help.
ReplyDeleteGB, I think supporting dictatorships doesn't help - first and foremost - with or without religion
DeleteThe North Koreans are in a tough situation. As for Syria; I think that if it had happened 15 years back they would have had help, but the West is getting bored of the Middle East now.
ReplyDeleteTrue Dicky and unfortunately the Syrian regime knows that
DeleteWow that first picture really says it all doesn't it...?
ReplyDeleteYeah Keith, It's as if they don't see the irony
