Today’s headlines have me feeling down and wondering why we all seem so intent on killing one another? Matthew Arnold said it best…
For the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
On this day..

Or something more pedestrian, brought to mind by the quotes regarding their intense “hatred of US citizens”:
“It’s obvious you hate me though I’ve done nothing wrong.
I’ve never even met you so what could I have done?”
