A moment of silence

It's strange reading about death in the news - seems like every day something happens and you just see a new number... 22 in Indonesian plane crash, 30 in Iraq cafe suicide bombing, 70+ in Indonesian earthquake, etc. Not the mention the countless people dying from starvation, disease, and war in Africa which has gone on for so long it doesn't even get reported.

Travelling around and visiting new places really helps me appreciate how similar people are despite what seem like insurmountable differences. It's sad more people don't get this opportunity to appreciate global citizenship.
