War fucks us up
An incredible video which sums up the insanity of war.
These scenes as relatives from North and South Korea meet up are both heartbreaking (had me sobbing) and incredulous, that as a human race we allow war and separation to continue.
Lee Sun-Kyu was three months pregnant with their son, when war separated them. Oh In-se gets to meet his 65 year old son for the first time. His son says "Father, I'm here"
Lee Sun-Kyu 84, of North Korea, meets her husband Oh In-se, 83 from South Korea for the first time in 65 years.
Red Cross arranged this reunion, as they meet and hold hands.
She says "Thank you for being alive"
I am 100% convinced that grassroots people do not want war.
Their respective leaders drive the hate and fund the war.
It's time for us, the people, to say collectively to our so-called 'leaders': "No More War"
Context: During the Korean war many families scattered to stay safe, believing that their separation would be temporary, and that they would eventually be able to reunite when things settled down.
Many thought that they’d only be away from their families for a few days, weeks, or even months.
Unbeknownst to hundreds of thousands of families, the split of Korea into North and South would end up separating them from their loved ones for decades, if not the rest of their lifetimes.
My view is that this is utterly insane, it's inhumane.
I'll repeat again - time for grassroots people to throw out their so-called leaders and live together in harmony.
