Otoya

I've held off saying anything, nothing to say really, except may the dead and survivors both find peace.

Then i saw this article, from IOL, and it seems to some up everything very well.

Rider Henrik Bauer Larsen said at Lake Tyrifjorden, looking out towards Utoeya island: “We've got Hell's Angels, Coffin Cheaters and Outlaws riding side-by-side out here tonight - the first time these gangs have ever ridden together.

“These groups are not friends - normally, they fight tough - but we agreed there would be no politics here, that everybody would stand together.

“In each of these clubs, somebody knew people who died on the island - we just wanted to pay our respects to the victims and their families.”

“The truce won't last,” he admitted, “but even the police bikers wanted to join in when they saw the Tommy’s Facebook invitation on Sunday.”

Why does it always take tragedy like this to bring people together?

Is it really SO difficult to remember our humanity and that we're supposed to love our neighbours? Or is it just that we don't love ourselves either?

Do we have to live up to "man's inhumanity to man" ALL the time??

And NO I'm NOT "sings" for my comment or my supper :o)

Love, laughter and learning to you and yours

Mmmm a really good question, don't think i even have an answer.

But we humans get so lost in our daily, it DOES take something out the ordinary to "jolt" us into seeing what is important.

But as per the article, the truce won't last :(

peace
