It's hard to believe how selfish the world can be sometimes.
Anyway, I had a flashback today. I suddenly remembered that very dark-skinned girl of about my age or younger at the Dubai airport, when I was on my way back from Italy.
We met at the sinks in the toilet. I was washing my hands, she was filling up a milk-bottle for, I assumed, a younger sibling. The girl was quite skinny and shy, but when I smiled at her reflection in the mirror, she smiled back at me. It was very sweet, knowing that two people, from entirely different parts of the world with different cultures and who speak different languages, can befriend and accept one another through a small gesture or two.
You see, it is possible for people of the world to live together in harmony! And then you wonder why war is still breaking out.
What stupid people.
