The Iraqi war is over, but it's not really over, but it is..

[hester_prynne]

Today, another suicide bomb went off in Iraq, killing over a hundred and injuring a hundred and thirty so more.
The bomb hit where Iraqi's (mostly Shiites) were applying for jobs as guards and security personnel.

This is the biggest hit since 2002.

does this bother anyone?
Am I just foolish to be HORRIBLY BOTHERED BY THIS?

Please, an explanation as to how one deals with this and remains happy and carefree? How do you do it? I keep thinking about those poor people, just trying to get work.....and blam! gone!

Share your peace of mind with me, please.
I don't know how to get there.....and i want to.

H........not feeling very......

H, there is no carefree. But there is happiness, yes.

Happiness is your duty. By your happiness others are happy.

There is no explanation. Yes, it bothers me. The Iraq war, from before it started to this dreadful moment, has been and continues to be one gigantic murderous injustice. And this is transparent.

But the wheels of civilization turn not by our hands, they churn regardless.

Not our karma wheel to live in Iraq in this second of history. Not yours.

Weep, it's expected.

But to live YOUR life and manifest happiness is your capable answer, your contribution. Work to keep your acre of the planet unharmed.

The world is a sensitive red, hester.
There are factual and mental suicide bombs everywhere.
There are also other things.

Thank you Les, you are absolutely right.

And Arcadia, yes there are other things.
To look, beyond what's in front of me,
sensitive red eyes and all.

I Thank you both very much responding to my "plea"
