very unexpected

As I was driving to get some smokes, the radio said it was 75 years ago today that the first atomic bomb got dropped in Japan. Changed every-thing. Then, in Japan, and here, now. No longer just a carefree day, just waiting to see what happens. Yesterday, thoughts about how history re-peats itself, now changed into thoughts that no, we really can’t do that again. Can we? Will we? Thinking about the past is necessary sometimes. They say that if you don’t know history, you’ll keep making the same mistakes over and over. On the other hand, you might use the past as an example of what it’s possible to do now. The old “for every step forward, we take two steps backward”. Where to look for new ways? How to find the new paths already being traveled by the few brave souls toward a better world. Where, on the www, is the platform where these people connect? So much on the internet is just about advertising. About entertainment.

Some flowers in memory of all who died this day so long ago.
