Je Suis Paris

[changeling67]

The world is shocked about the Paris attacks. In my own corner of the world, my English group returned from Paris just two days previously, the same trip that I was scheduled to be on, but had been too unwell to go. I have text a friend's daughter who is spending her third year French/English BA out there. I breathed a sigh of relief when I got her text message back, confirming that she was indeed ok, as she is staying outside Paris.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Paris, may we continue to strive for peace.

You are right when you say 'all religions' - they could take any book and see it as their divine right to kill another. This spans the whole of humanity via creeds, colour, culture or politics. Hammering people so they are shaped to fit their fundamentalist ideaology.

I pray for peace, in the knowledge that it is not in a small proportion of people's mentality to actually live peacefully.
