A think I thought today was that there is something very wrong in people worldwide celebrating the death of one man.
I know this is controversial and I am not in any way condoning what Osama Bin Laden masterminded. The loss of so many innocent lives was, and still is, truly a tragic and catastrophic series of events. But I cannot join in with people celebrating the death of this evil dictator.
People directly affected by the actions of this man may feel joyful that he has finally got "what he deserves" but it is not a national celebration.
A friend, Mrs M has this as her Status on Facebook and having seen it I think it says it all
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"
Martin Luther King Jr
I am sure there will be repercussions worldwide for the death of the Taliban leader and I for one hope that not more innocent lives are lost along the way.
About Me
- A Think I Thought Today
- Hello! I'm Kara, a mid 30's mum of one, teacher by day and mummy by night. I would say I am more slummy mummy than yummy mummy but I live in hope of my fairy godmother casting her wand! I am also a sister, a daughter, a godmother, an auntie, a wife and hopefully a good friend! Having spent more time lately reading blogs than studying current affairs or indulging in "chick lit" I thought I'd give it a go so here I am! I have been married to Mr D for 12 years now and we have been together since I was 14!!! Miss D came along in 2009 and life changed for the better from that day. I work a 4 day week as a tutor in Childcare and Education (sounds far posher than it is!) and spend the other 3 days being the best mummy I can be to my adorable daughter. I *LOVE* shopping, chatting, card making, scrapbooking, cooking and reading. I want to share some of the random thoughts that I have and the craziness of my life with you. I hope you enjoy what you read and if you don't........well I gave it a go!!!
