Which leads to the next question, do you fight, do you struggle or do you just give in? I think we should all become fighters, because we’ve seen how the other ends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-70212309715372985162013-08-26T04:01:01.100-04:002013-08-26T04:01:01.100-04:00I think, like you, while I go about my daily tasks...I think, like you, while I go about my daily tasks, unhindered and without dread and fear, about those in war zones. We see snippets of their lives being ripped apart and we are moved - while the news report lasts, then lean back into our safe reality. This is their reality, every minute of every day and night.<br />That last line of yours.

I am tempted to rewatch some of the mini-series of the 80'.

The lovely sailboat helps, but I see you have the same things running in your background that I (many of us?) do. After reading/viewing the NYT powerful pieces on Syria, the Congo, and the "old news" conflicts that are still out there, gratitude wells up for the relative safety and ease that I enjoy everyday. And what if? <br /><br />The Kinks' "Catch Me Now I'm Falling" comes to mind . . .

But then that's always the way. I actually avoided the filmed version when it first came out, but gave in to curiosity in the end. And wished I hadn't. Wouk's sequel to TWW, 'War and Remembrance' is more powerful again.<br /><br />AlisonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
