Syria Revolution 60,000 DEAD

so far

it is not over yet

are violent revolutions a good idea?

who encouraged this? who helped the rebels? who gave them support and money and weapons?

who is responsible for the deaths?

60,000 deaths and untold misery and who is responsible?

plenty to go around

words do matter
stop with words of anger and hatred and injustice and fighting and threats and so on

it does not help to threaten and call out for justice and revenge
I have a simple idea

FOUR Cs

crisis
compassion
communication
cooperation

when there is a crisis, and they are always going on, it is just another word for change

but always start with compassion, look at the other guy with compassion and
do your best to work on establishing communication and dialogue
listen to what they have to say, say what you need to say, and listen and keep listening
until you can arrive at understanding and start to cooperate to help all parties

this is not that difficult
much easier than going to the hospital
easier than killing or getting killed

we should all stop fighting and talk through our differences patiently
stop with deadlines and ultimatums and just keep talking until we reach understanding and peace
