I am feeling sad at the moment. I lament the latest news from abroad and locally, here, in Australia. Locally, the announcement of the Royal Commission into the Catholic Church over child sex abuse has divided the nation. Let me state that I am against the abuse of children of any kind. In my view, the alleged sexual abuse of children stems from the fact that one entity, entity of power, intimidates another entity of a weaker power.
In fact, abuse of anyone resembles the above power model.
On a another front, the crisis in Gaza. When will people with different beliefs and ideals learn to live with each other? In Australia, we have a multi-cultural soceity for a few years now and by enlarge, it has worked.
If the rise of China is to coincide with no wars and a balance of power that is neutral.
I hope so.
