Sad and Shaken.

I feel shaken this morning by how ready some people are to kill the innocent, whether it be state-sponsored genocide in Syria, a Norwegian who was ‘protecting’ his country from the perceived threat of alien incursion, or two men in Denver who did it for heaven-knows-what reason.

I can’t help taking this personally. I woke up at four o’clock this morning needing the loo, and when I read the news later I realised that there were fourteen people alive then who were dead by the time I woke up again.

I dare say that the high spiritual mind would argue that in the final analysis none of it matters. Well, I’m not up there yet, and so it does to me. Maybe people are still my business after all.
