One mad man can create a world of terror. When children and innocents are butchered, we hear their wails. It is so heartrending. It happens very often in many places, these days. Powerfully presented in few terse words. All the Best dear friend.

I know what you mean dear dr sotto, so well written on this situation and the scene we witness today in some parts of the world, in few words youv described it in such a vivid manner, so powerful and soul hitting! I can hear through your words, the chaos and grief, and pain, a world of terror musnt be what we should see today but it is for some: always a pleasure reading your work, sending you light always. Best wishes for the contest too

And it is possible to do good things..' Yet harder I suppose.? To do the small things that make a Difference.' Easier to destroy and gain a name.? A twisted logic the world understands it seems.?
