Thinking about thinking, what a waste of time... Let's overthink this somewhere else!

That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

we should not take all life on the planet with this likely downfall if we cannot prevent it. We should work hard to prevent it for the sake of all life.

I am not agreeing with everything his political party wants for us in Finland (he was prime minister before), but I do agree that as a president and his role in the conflict he has been an example for the world... It is a very good speech.

@danielfb.bsky.social Thank you so much for reading it! Your praise has made my day and it is always mind-melting to think others can read something I wrote which in turn makes them feel something. This is the first poem of 5 in Amor. I created 5 x 5 poems (+ for each an intro) making together....
