I feel riddled with guilt reading this brilliant, touching, intelligent, empathic, shocking and above all heartbreaking post Pipp.

I feel guilty because I cannot help, I feel guilty because I can’t watch or read or listen to the facts because I cannot help, I feel guilty because I have to continue my day as if this isn’t happening, because I can. I feel guilty because we live in a world of intelligent beings, the most intelligent of all life on this planet and yet this is still happening. I feel guilty because I am one of those beings and yet, still I can do nothing to stop the tragic carnage.

You talk of a peace room, I have seen such places in airports and cities and yes, what a wildly beautiful idea and yet, shouldn’t all our hearts not already contain room for peace, are they not indeed ultimately that?

I don’t know the facts as you do, if I did, I couldn’t speak of them without something breaking inside me..🕊️

So moving Pip. Thank you. There are so many of us trying not to take sides, yearning for peace.

My mother died when I was flying home to be with her and I found the multi faith room in Hong Kong airport very useful. Love and peace to you. ❤️

So touching a Peace room for everyone . A town , a village could accommodate . A church quite room for everyone. The figures of death , injured , displaced are incomparable with any disaster that I know of . One is too many . In humane. Your words needed to be said . So many facts i didn’t know . A very heartfelt informative read . 🙏🏻
