Very deep thoughts Rei. I really hope more people read and reflect on your thoughts...who knows, the world might start becoming a better place - bit by bit. Sometimes, when I look back at how we (as human beings and society) have "evolved" in the last 100 years, I shudder to imagine as to what kind of future we are leaving behind, for our future generations.
So much to think about in this edition. Thank you for writing these experiences when the easy thing to do is pick a side.
These, words to remember: “The information we consume and the narratives we are fed form our perception of the world around us. Perception becomes reality for each of us, however distorted it may be.”

Thank you, Deb. I sure hope so, too.
Thank you for writing such an empathetic and personal text in a time of shouting and madness.
I empathize with much of what you share. My grandfather was Jewish, he fled the Nazis as a child but never taught my family to hate others.
As you say, "Nothing good comes from war.".
Thank you for your kind comment. Hoping this situation won’t escalate more than it already has.

Love the stories from the school you went to.
Wish there were more such institutions.
Thank you for reading and for your comment. We need to be aware of the information that's being fed to us.
