Just a little musing on my part. People die everyday. Many die because of their own stupidity. Many die from vicious animals disguised as humans. We saw that on Oct 7 in Israel. But it isn't about death. It about more than that. Its where someone dies, how they're killed and by what. 1,400 people were murdered in Israel on Oct 7. I raged. The next day I saw the above Tweet and chocked it up to an act of God.

If I was fair and balanced I'd want aid rushed to Afghanistan to help those people.

I don't.

Human failing?  Don't know. 

It still gives me pause though.

We're all (especially me), biased individuals that (in my case) readily accept death, just quibble and rage about how that death comes about.

Note.  A comment NOBLE made finally made me snap to this blog post.  It had been lying dead as disco in my bookmarks folder.
