you can do both, you know?

Mourning 12 dead and only 1 dead and millions without water, food, people dying in Aleppo and Russia and Vietnam and anywhere else.

IMO you cannot have a warm heart, if you are seriously thinking that a life (even a single one) doesn`t matter.

if you arent directly connected to things, they don't effect you.

also I'm on the other side of the world from europe. I don't "feel" the energy of those people.

But when stuff happens on my own continent, i do feel the connections a lot stronger, more emotions,& worry attached.

(and it's not cause i'm closer at risk, it's because i'm more connected energy-wise)
unless maybe if you had a sentimental connection, like most of the replyers here did, which i never have been there

So I guess that was the thing that was left out. Now I know that is why I wasn't as concerned.

Plus I thought it was 7, 12 is more serious, i never watched the story, my developing brain had watched enough deaths and stuff happen this year, just not interested

to me it was actually good news, because i'm used to hearing 50 or 120 or 200 people die from some attack, to hear it was 5 is a relief. it shows things are getting better.

so yeah the point was you have a domination over your energy, and i have no idea or connection to that, if i think you shouldnt be concerned (which i dont know if i was insinuating) then that has to do with MY feelings, and nothing to do with yours.

therefore it is just a reflection of how I feel, and not ANYONE else, you know how you feel.

Therefore

Therefore

I agree with Pire's last point, i *DID* not show compassion for your grief, because i only showed how i felt, but now i see

Now i see just because i didnt see it as important, doesn't mean it's not to anyone else, now i know.

I don`t know if any of you have read Jack London, there you will grasp a little bit more of how life is in the Wild, and guess what rules the World? The Wild

I also have this think with insects, i love saving them

So the attack in Berlin..
I wonder how something like that can eaven happen, but I guess it did.
This hole ISIS think in europe is exagerated.. They must have a fkin good sys in Europe with cameras and stuff everywhere

I also was in Koppenhagen last year, where some month ago a cop got shot in Christiania.
When I was there the cops also got me, like 10 cops! saying i was terrorist hahaaha
So i don`t know but there is something smelling in this hole story with bombs and bearded man
And man europe people are getting too weak and crazy

I never cared a lot about the kamikaze terrorist attacks, I can eaven say that sometimes I wished that chaos would bracke free for once, because I have this thought that there is no way out of it.

It is something you see in the Tv or in the Net.. Of course you can feel sorry, but you also can not, and in fact I tend to the second option.
Why? They are joking with us, why should i feel sorry?

Oh the guy was there and the weal of the truck went over him and he died. Man you Live you Die...
If it was one of the 20 people I know there it would be another story
If a friend of mine tells me in some days a frined of him died, it is another story...

Life is rough, I live in the countryside now, you know what they do if you try to convince them to be a vegetarian? they laugh
the other day, my dog got the other dog of a man that came visit us, my dog was 10 times bigger, I went after him, trying to save the dog, feeling for it, for the owner, almost desperate..
I finally got my dog out, and raging as I was pulled it up and pushed it to the ground leaning myself against it.
The owner of the bitten dog was watching the hole scene, but did not really care, he was more interested a german in despair than feeling sorry for his dog with his glassy eyes.

1. what is going on in the country policy environment, regulations. is there a law that is controversial (i.e. immigration, surveillance), but will be more palatable after the attack? will a political fraction benefit of it? in other words WHO BENEFITS from the attack?

2. is there any international event going on that can be switched if an attack occur? (for instance any UN resolution being discussed?, would the attack put pressure on the agenda or pressure a leader in the country involved in the attack?)

information or lack of it is there for all of us to process and connect the dots. I do not let any narrative to tell me how events are related. I avoid too much analysis from any source (mainstream or alternative) I do not want others to tell me how things are connected, I want to find the connections on my own. I shy away of analysis made by others and try to look at the things with fresh eyes. That helps me to keep as critical and independent as possible. Of course, nobody is free from bias and we need to accept that we always are biased by our beliefs and theories, but being aware and keeping all our theories under scrutiny helps to keep the objectivity.

Yes, there are things behind terrorist attacks, such as violence, war, intolerance breeding them, or various factions not wanting for people to peacefully live together, anti-integration interests of warmongers, arm dealers, power seekers and the likes, but I am not sure why people who don't feel like a Berliner right now think they need to be on a commemorative thread, since the thread is not about them and their search for personal meaning and their displaced emotions.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...
