The world is watching



讀到這則報道,心情十分沉重。

據報,當時 Pasha Lee 正在前線抵抗俄軍,保護受攻擊小區的居民逃生,更將自己的避彈衣贈予小孩😢

根據由日內瓦公約及其第一、二附加議定書和第三附加議定書組成的國際人道法(戰爭法/武裝衝突法),即使兩軍開戰,也不應攻擊平民、醫院及救護車 、醫護人員、人道工作者、記者和核子設施等。

一支打著正義旗號、聲稱要替人類剷除新納粹的軍隊,為何卻無視國際人道法,連日來有記者喪命?有9歲的女孩逃亡時遭俄軍掃射,失去父親同時自己也中彈截肢?有母嬰醫院被轟炸導致孕婦與腹中塊肉同赴黃泉?還有多條平民撤離逃難的人道主義通道被瞄準摧毀?

The whole world is watching, and the truth is like the sun, you can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away.


The Mist

So I was reading "The House of Hades", and it came to the part where Pluto taught Hazel how to summon and control The Mist, a supernatural force that twisted a mortal's sight so he/she saw only the things that a mortal could comprehend, instead of supernatural occurrences - "the dead saw what they believed they would see. So did the living."

Well, I know nothing about The Mist or the dead, but it's totally true for the living!

It's funny how people hear only what they wanna hear. So much so that even when they come to you for advice, knowing that you know best, but once you tell them the truth and they decide that they don't like it, they'd simply refuse to acknowledge your existense altogether.

Well, ignorance is bliss. Not my problem.
