This image, which I laid eyes on through Facebook about a week ago keeps occupying my mind. I just can’t forget it.
I spend a lot of time on my bicycle a lot going from A to B, and while cycling I come to a meditative state. And in that state things pop up in my mind out of nowhere. It’s things that on a subconscious level are most important to me in that moment. So this image just won’t stop popping up since I saw it. And when it does I start to imagine how I would feel if i was the parent kissing my dead child like that..or I wonder what it would do to me being a peaceful person at heart, would I want to take revenge on the people responsible for her death. And how would I want to take revenge??? When I feel sad or frustrated about things in my daily life, it seems so trivial when this image comes to mind again.
On Facebook we get lots of propaganda pictures of both sides in the current Israel-Hamas conflict. Both sides claim they are the victim of the other.. It’s so incredible hard to understand what is really going on. And even harder to know what the answer should be to make it stop. I just know my heart breaks looking at and thinking about this(and all similar)image.
