Musings into the tragedy of a gun attack on Sydney’s beloved Bondi Beach and the contrast of devastation and shock against the regularity we have become inoculated against in hearing of such attacks in the U.S.

The pride Australians have had for three decades without mass gun violence as a result of Prime Minister, John Howard taking definitive action after the events of what all Australians know as ‘ Port Arthur’.  As against the frequency of such need in the U.S, and especially under the current regime who has just repealed the first major controls put in place in years. Not just pandering to powerful lobbies but having a leader, who uses words and self owned platforms himself to stoke violence, sew seeds of hate and derision and never denounce the type of evil WW|| was predicated on and countries fought to eradicate. 

From corporate lawyer to full time writer, Julia Mathison, in this 12 MIN EP, explores how devastating it is, that the lessons of world wars have not laid to rest forever, with unanimous consent, that neo Nazi and hate baiting groups should never be tolerated or given airtime. The frustration and sadness when the U.S leader stokes those same flames and refused to denounce them as evil. 

Contrast with the heros made so - in the moments that define a tragedy, who act in selflessness and true humanity. A reminder there are always forces for good and it is always a good time to check in on each other and do so with kindness and compassion of word and deed. 

Always a personal musing, featuring personal preferences, with a desired message to be kind, follow your hearts direction and accept the calling of your innate gifts.
