Not having lived one year in the last millennium and this one without having to learn almost daily of countless atrocities, perversities, lies, hypocrisy, rapes and these and those wars has brought my hopes down near zero. Alas, still trying: Dum spiro, spero.
Malgrat tot, Bon Nadal, Sean!
ReplyDeleteGràcies, Carme, i Bon Nadal!
DeleteI live in hope. Vain though I fear it is.

Tot i que ho desitgem totes les persones de bon cor, sembla que encara no som suficients per tenir-la...
ReplyDeleteAferradetes, Sean.
I no hi ha res que faci pensar que mai passarà.
DeleteAferradetes, Paula.
Que lluny que estem d'aconseguir-la, malgrat tot no hem de deixar de desitjar-ho i fer sempre el bé...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Sean
Tens raó, estimada Núria. Per això mai no voldria ser un humil jardiner amb amor per la literatura i la poesia.
DeleteBon Nadal.
All we can do is all we can do. We have sponsored children in such places and give as much as we can. It doesn't make things easier, though.
ReplyDeleteI think many people's kindness is ultimately nothing more than a drop on a hot stone.
DeleteOf course, no one should go against his friendly nature.
Sad indeed. I believe that people just don't care about anyone other than themselves. Our world is very selfish.
ReplyDeleteI first posted this photo in 2008 and wonder if the little boy and his mum survived and still are alive. It makes me cry!
