Last night I received one of those 'Pass It On...' emails and usually after reading the content and having a laugh (at the humorous ones natch.) I select the friends in my contact list that I think will appreciate the joke and indeed pass it on... But what I saw in this email that I received (I'm not going to say from whom) left me totally disgusted. It showed pictures of soldiers of one nation holding childen and people of another nation at gunpoint and various other awful things. What sort of person wants to pass this dreadful stuff on? and for what purpose other than causing racial hatred and tension? I find this sort of thing absolutely abhorrent and I feel saddened that people can be used by the propaganda machine so easly to perpetrate their terrorist activities.
Am I the only one who has refused to pass this rubbish on? Am I the only one who actually uses my brain and stands up to say a resouding 'NO! this stops here!' ? These sort of images are held by every country about another's violations and war crimes. We would be naive at the very least or stupid to think anything otherwise. What you give out comes back to you, what goes around comes around - so I am sending out my message of love and peace throughout the world as we used to in the 60's and 70's but somehow I wonder if I am truly too good for this world as I feel worlds apart from those who seem to stoop so low they are wallowing in the myre of spreading doom, gloom and misery.
