Terrorist Attack in Russia
When I heard of the recent terrorist attack on the train in Russia, my first thought was of the safety and well being of those I now know in that country, especially Dr. Revenko, his wife, and their family. Suddenly I realized that Russia was no longer my childhood, cold war idea of threat, but a nation like ours struggling with the realities of terrorists and the loss of innocent lives. Russia has given us the gift of SCENAR, an offering of healing and compassion for the suffering in the world. Like us, Russians are just people, living their lives as best they can, and are our brothers and sisters in the human family.
In an email “conversation” I had with our distributor in Russia years ago, he said, “We are all just people who can learn from each other that we are more alike than alien. It is our governments who don’t like each other and keep their people afraid to get to know one another.”
One wonders what kind of progress humanity could make if governments could learn to work together to solve our common problems and focus together on making things work for the benefit of the whole planet and its people rather than squandering both in an effort to control it all.
As humans we all know the grief of the unexpected and shocking loss of innocent loved ones to the blatant acts of those of us who do not value life, no matter where it occurs. It is so wrong, and my heart goes out to those in Russia who have been affected.
