The headline read:
Donald Trump Endorses
Mitt Romney.
Imagine a world run by people like that. Joke and a half,
right? Oh, hang on – the world is run
by people like that. Damn!
Another news report said that the number of people killed by
the severely cold weather in Ukraine
has reached treble figures, most of them homeless people who died on the
streets.
It seems somehow a bit wrong that we live in a world
dripping with the trappings of wealth – the yachts, the private jets, the
million dollar artworks, the outsize diamonds – and yet there are still
homeless people freezing to death on the streets.
Or is that right? Is that how it’s supposed to be? Is the
whole purpose of having a physical incarnation to give us the chance to
experience everything, the suffering as well as the comfort, and to give those
of us who are more ‘fortunate’ the opportunity to help the sufferers? Is it the
best of all possible worlds after all?
