So, what to write on Christmas Day. In some ways the oddest day of our year. We have the stark contrast of pictures of piles and piles of presents, of war torn regions and of those who are perhaps homeless in our western countries.
Of course, the reasons for all of these scenarios are many and complex and it can often feel like we can't do anything to affect this world with all it's discrepancies between have and have nots, between religions and between economies.
I have been advised, with my condition at times this year, to avoid the news which causes all sorts of conflicting emotions. First world problems that I suffer pale with the refugees fleeing war torn regions.
I wonder if there is a simple thing amongst all the hate, trolling, warmongering, greed, narcissism, etc etc. That if the horrid things that surround us are perpetrated by a monority as is often whats suggested, surely if the majority of us are the best people we can be at any point in time ( we all come with our challenges ), then surely the world must be on balance a better place for that.
Peace ..............
Tony
