A tear drifts slowly
down one’s cheek, it lingers not upon its drift a washing of the emotions of
the soul, there as it moves so slowly does the air dry the moisture trail of
the tear, a cooling of the skin a notification of its end.
What person has not
felt so? What individual can deny the feelings of misery and loss? Have you
ever seen a child with a tear in its eye when the child is in loss? Explaining
to a child that a parent, any parent, is not coming home is the hardest thing
the other parent can express to that child.
Telling that child that the reason was because of an accident or a
choice such as drug use or alcoholism does not cool that tear any quicker and
does not make that misery go away- not to the child. Telling that child that parent isn’t coming home
because of a war, an act of military aggression, a treaty violation, or even
the cowardly act of terrorism does not stop that tear from falling- not in the
child’s eye. Not for that child.
We here in America are so proud of our technology and our
accomplishments, so proud of what we claim as an excess- an extra- that it has
become a standard; we forget what the extra really is.
Are you so scared that your voice doesn’t count, that your
words don’t count, that your vote doesn’t count, that you aren’t going to help
that child? Any child? What can tie your hands SO much? What excuse are you
going to use? How do you justify to yourself when you are brushing your teeth
or combing your hair, knowing that there is no other reason than your own fear
that can stop another tear on another child’s face?
About
2,100 attacks have been launched by Israelis since 2006 and annual totals are
up from 115 that year to 399 in 2013, according to the UN, which started
counting such assaults in 2006.
239 times last year alone, Israel
Yesterday, I gave you an example of two boys arguing and
fighting for a pleasure, and how simple it was to take the argument away.
Today, I wanted to show you what they are arguing about. The word “jihad,” and
the word “crusade” means a religious effort by violence to capture or gain a
value to their belief, their homeland. What do you call homeland? Something
that you treasure- a holy land which holds religious significance to multiple
people. How come Jerusalem is not like Geneva-
They want you to believe that man at his core will always fight. They want you to believe that man is violent, and yet they want you to believe in the “justice” of the cause. If I go to a pub, and a friend of mine starts a fight, he is held accountable for that fight and has to leave. If I bring my friend back to the pub and he starts another fight and is asked to leave the pub, they start to ask why that man is coming into the pub. 239 times, hasIsrael Israel

92,481,203 happy meals, in the form of tanks, rockets,
bombs, airplanes… What kind of happy meal is that? What is the use of a bomb, a
tank, a rocket and so on other than creating that tear?
What is seen in life is circles, the never ending turnings
of experience.
Alas, what others see is your dance.
