i'm just terribly saddened by the shootings, yesterday, at the 3 AMPs in Georgia and the deaths of the 8 people. everyone working and patronizing an AMP today has to have this in mind. a shame on par with senseless school shootings.
i have been distressed by the rise in hostility in the US towards "the others" and now Asian Americans and Asians in the US. Tolerance, acceptance, civility, and generosity of spirit seem in short supply. smh
this post has no value other than selfish catharsis. but i'll say this, i cherish the diversity of people i share this planet with ... they make my life more interesting and more beautiful (as well as adding wonderful stuff to eat to my diet).
i have never patronized an amp (well ... in asia, yes ... but not since) but there is one close by. think i'll bring flowers there today and tell them "thanks" as a way of expressing my personal regret.
