"...Every decision, just like every move, has its consequences. Therefore, decide wisely."
I've just been crushed since morning.
I was hoping for a spring without covid, without stress and worries. And in the morning, the first thing I saw on the news were pictures of frightened civilians crowding the subway hiding from the bombing. Bombing in Europe in the 21st century! I am terrified, sad and angry.
Terrified because the war is terrible. Because no one wins the war, everyone always loses. And ordinary people lose the most. Sad because the consequences for all of us will be severe. It was as if two years of pandemics were not enough for us. And hopefully these are only economic consequences, this will be the lesser evil. And I'm angry. Because humanity does not learn its lessons and repeats the same mistakes.
Very well said and I couldn't agree more. So very sad that we can't learn to live with the understanding that we are more alike than different. There are no winners in war, only pain and destruction. We can't let the evil of a few, overtake the goodness of the masses.
yes, I have several friends in the Ukraine, and someone I support was born there and all her family are there, so I can't imagine how helpless she feels. I am just constantly facebook stalking my friends there as they keep us updated - they do not own cars so cannot escape Kyiv with their elderly 😞

Well said, I think ordinary people do understand it, but the evil few are stronger when given the power. In this particular case a man with sick ambitions wants to be remembered in world history.
I loved reading your narrative Velina and feel exactly the same way! It is absolutely horrific what is going on. I too am praying for Ukraine.
Lovely shot and dof.
Great perspective with this photo. Sadly the perspective of humans and going to war is sadly inevitable. It's in our DNA to destroy just as much as wanting to create I'm afraid. I went to many places around the world with the Army, and witnessed first hand the blight which we humans create. Very sad really :(
I'm crushed too. I couldn't find a place for myself. Unfortunately, man is a mistake in the way of evolution. I don't think we understand what life is all about as a species. Even those who consider themselves a chess horse are, in the end, pawns.
I hope they'll stay strong and safe!

Very well said, I totally agree.
