I wish we could just move forward from the barbarian times where all that mattered was war and dominance. We have a pretty bloody history and I really pray that we don't have to witness any of that anymore. I pray for the safety of all the Russians and people from Ukraine. It's the common people who suffer the most in these games played by the elites.

I have always be intrigued by the russian people, their way of living, their culture and their countries. It's one of my wishes to visit the north Asian countries sometime. I hope all this tension resolves soon.
