I endeavour to maintain a clutter free, simple reading environment that takes just a few minutes to read a complete story. This blog is free for all. One way you could 'repay' me if you like the story you have read is to refer others to this blog and the specific story. I would appreciate that kind of word-of-mouth (or its modern equivalent - email, link, Facebook posting) advertising, since it is the best kind. Kindly do to the extent you can without feeling uncomfortable or like a spammer.

Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy reading!

How To Commemorate Human Tragedies

When we commemorate one human atrocity or tragedy, it is good to reflect on ALL such human tragedies everywhere and reflect on the conditions and attitudes that led to them. That is the only truly meaningful way to remember and make a change for the better.

Competitive and selective commemoration or 'honoring' of one set of human victims only shows up hypocrisy more clearly and leads to worse hate and resentment. It keeps the cycle of hatred and atrocities going.
