I want us all to think for a moment what life is

[wundermaus]

and how precious and fragile it is. That we individually and collectively must be vigilant in our responsibilities to each other - that we learn from history not to repeat the atrocities and horrors of our past... That we learn to love and cherish each other - and to protect and defend the weak and helpless. That if we fail in our stewardship to each other then we fail ourselves and all that would have followed. Resolve forever to reject hatred and fear and embrace liberty and justice.

I'm not at work, but some people might be and there is some NSFW language in the video as well as some graphic stuff.

and thank you for saying it is so...

8. Fairly fragile, but precious? You've got to be kidding.

You or I, with sufficient means can go out right now and buy as much as we want and do with it whatever we wish.

Where do you get these ideas?

9. silly me...

seeing life as precious requires empathy... I should have known.

11. It's not that I agree with it, it's just what I've seen and received in my life,

and mine has been better than most.
