Dark Times.

"These are dark times, there is no denying." - Rufus Scrimgoer, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1. (2010)

Over the past few days, the country has gone into meltdown and riots have broken out in cities across England. The images are horrible; as the news keeps coming it gets more and more shocking and my heart is breaking for the people have lost their homes and everything they own due to the lack of concern by those causing the problems. Hopefully the violence is going to die down, rather than get worse, and the good people who are working to clean up the streets and show that the affected areas are not just full of criminals will get the recognition they deserve.



"War is what happens when language fails."
- Margaret Atwood.


"The pursuit of truth does not permit violence against one's opponent."
- Gandhi.


"The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it."
- Bill Cosby.


"Violence isn't always evil. What's evil is the infatuation with violence."
- Jim Morrison.


And to remember, until things get better:
"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean is not dirty."
- Gandhi.
