for the love of power

Today I learned how far and how much man will do for power. The lives of more than fifty men and women were snuffed for a mans' greed, to protect his wealth and power. The women were brutalised and killed along with the men, some were hastily buried in a prepared mass grave, the rest were left as they were. How have we, as a race of people have evolved like this? The question is not who is to blame? But what can we do? We have all become so detached and cocooned into our own lives, that we've forgotten how connected we are to each other. We've forgotten the age old tradition of respecting ones neighbours and treating others as you would unto yourself. I don't have the words to express how deeply my heart aches see one mans' disregard for life, because his actions is but a reflection of what we, as humans have become.
