its very sad to see the reality of this world in the form of pictures. we read about this stuff all the time, in newspapers, and we learn about it in textbooks and through our profs, but actually seeing the pictures really gives the issues a whole other dimension. I cant even imagine what it was actually like in reality, for the people in these pictures. We should all be thankful and grateful for all Babaji has given us. Just having this computer to be able to express our views and see these pics, is a reminder of how blessed we truly are.
