It’s strange because I couldn’t find the right photo for this at all. Really I wanted a picture of a person, an upset child or grieving mother. But every photo I found seemed to convey in some subtle way - be it by skin colouring or clothing, a race, religion….

I wanted to distance it from all of that shit.

Here here Julie, we'll said. Human beings are all important, children ,women, elderly, brothers ,sisters, mothers ,fathers, it's sickening the pain inflicted on them by greedy , mostly male? War loving, madness

Absolutely right. How do you explain this horror to a child? This is why I have always distrusted tribes and avoided them where possible. Once you stop thinking for yourself you are lost. Anyone defending any of this must have lost all empathy with other humans.

Perfectly expressed. This current situation is utterly sickening. People have been dehumanised. Hatred begets hatred. The world is insane. Until people retrieve their humanity we are doomed to keep repeating these atrocities.

My son keeps asking me about ‘sides’ and feel compelled to express to him -and the world - that they are manufactured notions that detract from our humanity which should prevail over any such concept.
