Bina:
This reverberated for a long time, when I read it the first time. And again when I read this now. ``They were all my sisters, in that moment.``
We have so much more in common.
Culture, dharti, mores.
More than what they try to indoctrinate in us.
What do we have in common with those shrouded usurpers pretending to be the guardians of the two shrines?
True, a schism is driven in by our perceptions of different gods. But the core humanity is the same.
Am saddened to see the pictures and read of the catastrophe.
If those tremors jolt us out of our slumber and rekindle our common bonds, perhaps, the destruction and havoc would not be in vain.
If....
Perhaps....
sadly and hopefully,
