When I feel depressed or my kinds, friends’ mood swings down I use my old psychological mantra. I try to compare our life, health and being with some people’s life, suffering and fighting to survive. So far these examples were quite supportive for me, my kids, friends and kept us afloat. When I see a young smiling girl in a wheelchair nicely talking to her mom I always pray for her. She is young, never been married and may be never had boyfriend. No doubts, she’s been through a lot of suffering and pain, but she was able to find her happiness in the present horrible conditions.

The great examples of good people around us fighting different kind of horrible life’s events, like disability, hard or even lethal illnesses, loss of close ones always work for myself, but it’s started to loose effect on my kids after they grown up.

But our life is always brings us something new examples, quite teaching, sometimes horrible and astonishing, which make us appreciate the world we live. How we could be unhappy with our present life and being if we will compare it to the place where 2 million people live now surrounded by “remote-controlled machine-guns mounted on watch-towers every few hundred meters along an electronic fence” and “female soldiers, located far away in an operations room, are responsible for aiming and firing” them.

I was wandering,if God has some devices mounted above Earth for “no kill” commitment’s breakers? Let’s see.
