The World Feels Full of Death
I look at Burma, I look at the earthquake in China, I look at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, I look at the seemingly nonsensical killings on our streets….death seems to surround us. There is part of me that sees the world almost getting used to death on a large scale….then there is another side that says we will never get used to death. 
I think the difference is the personal nature. When it is someone close, when it is someone that we know, when we see the faces of the deceased….we feel a pain that is so strong, so painful that it is difficult to cope with our innermost feelings.
Is it just me that thinks….whether we know the people, or whether we don’t….each death is a human being, someone that is loved, someone whose life we should treasure.
With the availability of global news, we should never forget that death will always be personal and reach out and help the world grieve.

Let international know that Burma has no government. Do massive campaign. Let UN know the representatives of Myanmar are actually representatives of Criminals of Burma.
