To keep silent when you can say something wise and useful is as bad as propagating foolish and unwise thought.
~ Imam Ali (a.s.)
For the lovers and followers of the Prophet and his progeny (peace be upon them all)...
I'm waking up from my reverie just enough so I can at least feel enough of a sense of humanity and community and pray for them. And perhaps find out when the next protest march is so I can actually do something, BE the activist and attend it.
I can't deny EVERYTHING. These are my people, these are my roots: of my roots, of my roots, of my roots in this incarnation.
Accept the responsibility of the knowledge you have.
I'll then go back into my self created world. I can only handle and channel so much pain before it renders me helpless.
It's horrible what they did to the people... they actually GOUGED out their eyes after killing them.
And then... the rest of the people have been blockaded so they can't get any food delivered in. Another slow, painful way to die.
Stuff going on militarily on the melting Siachen glacier between Pakistan and India - loads of Pakistani soldiers buried alive under the glacier ice and snow that fell on top of them. The glacier is melting due to all the gunfire. Been going on for decades, as has everything else.
Oh, the pain.
