Welcome to 2009, I hope that any who follow my thoughts had an enjoyable one & started the new year full of the feelings of a new start, a new beginning where old wounds can heal, old vendettas settled... Alas i find myself still in the same storm i have for the past few years.
I question the situation in Gaza, can peace without trust be achieved? Can compromise be reached without either side being prepared to put aside old fears, old judgements? Can two people at war move forward while they refuse to have some faith, some trust in each other? More so while these two nations, the leaders of these two societies wage war against each other do they not see the innocent suffering of their people? The same people they promised to protect and respect?
On a much less grand scale that we all fight our own personal wars, battles which to us and those we swore to protect are just as devastating, just as pointless, but we wage them all the same. If we could just find a little trust, a little less preconceived suspicion we could find peace, we could have harmony for ourselves and those we care for, but no our old prejudices Lear their grease painted faces like the villain in a pantomime & instead of booing such a scoundrel from the stage of our lives we embrace it, bring it close to our heart, hold onto it like a security against the fear of trust betrayed.
This year i shall try to find a little trust in those who wrong me, find a little compassion for the deluded fools who plot & plan, who live in a constant state of paranoid delusions of grandeur. I have made a promise to be more open, more obvious, in a hope that the very people who have made me out to be the villain of the peace that is the play of their lives will be shown for what they are. It is my hope this year that my son will see me for who i am, & not who he has been told i am..... A happy 2009 to everyone.. even my ex wife.
(there the 1st step towards peace have been made)
