My life in motion {jsL}

Is there a more peaceful group of people one can hurt? My god, the notion of harming inherently innocent Buddhist monks disgusts me to my core.

BBC: 'Nine killed' in Burma crackdown
Nine people have been killed during Thursday's crackdown on anti-government protesters in Burma's main city of Rangoon, state media say.
Thursday's violence followed reports of overnight raids on six monasteries. Witnesses say soldiers smashed windows and doors and beat sleeping monks. Some escaped but hundreds were taken away in military trucks.
With fewer monks on the streets on Thursday, the military may have had fewer qualms about firing on the civilians, correspondents say, as monks are held in high esteem in Buddhist Burma. Analysts fear a repeat of the violence in 1988, when troops opened fire on unarmed protesters, killing thousands.
The current protests were triggered by the government's decision to double the price of fuel last month, hitting people hard in the impoverished nation.

Moments of love {dst}

I have never met a puppy so eager for affection. Only being where I am now have I realized how much my childhood lacked what I truly craved. Or is it because I lacked affection to such an extraordinary degree that I crave it so?
