Bangladesh

I've been agonizing lately over what a beautiful blue planet this is, at least when one can view it from say, the moon. When you get close-up and "down-to-Earth" though, the injustice, poverty and suffering that prevails in virtually every country are almost too much to contemplate, let alone reconcile oneself to live with. I watched a "Globe Trekker" episode today that showed people in Bangladesh working in almost unimaginable, toxic, potentially deadly conditions. It showed barefoot workers dismantling huge ships that are docked off Chittagong for that purpose. If I were one of the wealthiest who walk this planet... well, I have to wonder how I could ever sleep. Still, Happy New Year to you all, friends. I may not get to my laptop tomorrow, so I thought I should voice my sentiments today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifQnCpZga1M
