Woe is me

April 30, 2025

I am a very ordinary man aged 83 and for the life of me I cannot understand the savagery evident in this world, not only Israel against the Palestinians, but also in the Sudan, Russia and Ukraine.

Humanity has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. We forget that if a man gaisn the whole world but loses his soul, he is a loser.

I weep for the parents whose children have been murdered in the name of a God who doesn’t seem too concerned. Israel has just celebrated the Passover which, at its core, is a celebration of the killing of its enemies’ first-born children sanctioned by its God. No wonder that I have given up.
