I am not a believer in handing everything to people; they should work hard as it is good for them. I do believe though that greed must disappear from our world for us to reach that higher plain of peace where all survive and people are happy. In the early 1990s life suddenly changed and we welcomed it; many many millions in the world. The Iron Curtain was gone and people could be free once again after fourty five years of being held in bondage. A buffer zone claimed by the country that had maintained that Iron Curtain but buffered against what; no aggression against them appeared during those 45 years or since. The only aggressor was that very country which held the peoples in bondage. When does it end? When does the bombing of innocents in Ukraine stop? Right now it is just hateful revenge because Russia the aggressor can not win the war as they bomb Ukraine day after day. It must stop for peace to come to our world.
The world is now divided into countries - some large and some smaller and both sizes can live together easily (the European Union is an example of that). That was why we created the United Nations in 1945 and all those freed countries in the 1990s came into the United Nations and now we are settled. The steps to peace are fraught with danger because of greed - greed for land and greed for opinion. We must find that middle plain where all are happy.
God had a brilliant idea way back in time and we are the result of that brilliance but we must use all of that brain power given to us to create the "Garden of Eden" that once existed at that beginning of this world. Where peace predominates and war disappears. We have no idea how much time has passed on this earth really; just thoughts uncovered by archaeological digs. We do need though to continue being ready to defend ourselves as we have no idea what is out there in the universe; being ready is very important.
Yesterday a busy cleaning day and it took most of the day as it turned out as windows were washed as well. A thorough cleaning as we enter into summer. The trees are in full leaf now and the canopy above us blocks the stars which is always sad actually but also tells us that summer is coming.
Today another cleaning day and it is the main floor and likely the windows once again so a long cleaning day but once done we are ready for the long hazy days of summer soon to arrive.
Thank you God for another beautiful day as my years stretch towards 81. Amazing really; I continue to be surprised to be here to see the 2020s. When I was a child a lot of discussion on the 1920s was still ongoing with older relatives and following that the Great Depression and then the Second World War. I wonder if they thought about the 1920s because it was the last happy moment in their lives until the Second World War was won. I was born just after the Second World War was won and the news reels at the movie theatres showed me the horror of that war but people still thrived and did what they had to do to survive you could see that in the news reels. But what saddened me was the faces on the Jewish children aboard the boats that were turned away. We must never do that to children again. They are not checkers on a board to be moved about to satisfy the horrors like we have been made to watch in Gaza and that was the responsibility of those parents - they could have sent them to safety. How does a baby freeze to death when there are parents there to hold them close and keep them warm (I can never understand that); children are the future and we must protect them for the future.
Solitaire puzzles are next. The morning moves quickly.
