A quotation from Bertrand Russell

   Almost everybody is deeply affected when some one he loves suffers from cancer. Most people are moved when they see the sufferings of unknown patients in hospitals. Yet when they read that the death-rate from cancer is such-and-such, they are as a rule only moved to momentary personal fear lest they or some one dear to them should acquire the disease. The same is true of war: people think it dreadful when their son or brother is mutilated, but they do not think it a million times as dreadful that a million people should be mutilated. A man who is full of kindliness in all personal dealings may derive his income from incitement to war or from the torture of children in “backward” countries.
   All these familiar phenomena are due to the fact that sympathy is not stirred, in most people, by a merely abstract stimulus. A large proportion of the evils in the modern world would cease if this could be remedied.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable
   is that which rages in the place of dearest love.

   ὅταν φίλοι φίλοισι συμβάλωσ᾽ ἔριν.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist

Guillermo Amoedo on His Haunting Horror Comeback ‘Loved Ones’: ‘Loving Someone, Becoming Friends, is a Death Sentence in This Place’ (EXCLUSIVE)

My ma turns 73 on the 25th of July, but she is back in hospital, so it does not look good. My sister is (understandably) freakin out and lashing out & my aunt is gravely concerned.

I'm juggling all this with a new career and additional photography paid work and ma is in Tarntanya, and my sister lives in Yass, on Ngunnawal and Wiradjuri Country.

There's nothing I can do but send love to everyone & my neurodivergent brain is reeling. I'm praying hard to the Goddess and ask all y'all to pray to whatever Gods/Goddesses you believe in.

"Why can’t the roles that were historically assigned to #mothers be #fulfilled by #parents — or #lovedones — of any kind?"
