Thanking female teachers, nurses
As 2022 ended, then onwards into this still “new” year, the world’s media, which, seemingly, revels in bad, very bad, news, transmitted global death and destruction to all who bother.
Buffalo, New York U.S.A saw mass murder, deadly snow storms and a popular young footballer suffering severe cardiac arrest on the field of play. Elsewhere in the U.S.A and around the globe there were/are deadly floodings and fires. Drought is killing and maiming even babies in eastern Africa. Conflicts take innocent lives and disrupt peaceful existence from Somalia and the Congo to Kashmir to Peru and Ukraine. Are these societal and international plagues all part of some divine prophecy? Can’t human–beings behave better than lower mammals?
