Africa (not South Africa) loves you dearly and we are mourning your deaths all over the continent.We know the goodness in Africans yet this knowledge can not diminish your loss or our grief.

Something is dreadfully wrong with human beings. Sometimes those who have suffered from injustices believe they have earned the right to inflict pain on others. There is a tremendous lack of humanity,empathy, compassion, memory, and even natural love in many people all over this awesome planet. I find these things so painful when I see them that it can make one lose hope in this world ever achieving any type of peace. But I will never lose hope in my fellow human beings to really learn someday from all the mistakes, pains, wrongs,foolishness and injustices that have been part of our existence on this earth from time immemorial and even up to today.
