Economic turmoil affects unrest other than money matters. Neo-Nazi tendencies of the youth, drawing them to the far side of things, according to RT News have surfaced. The"occupy" Wall Street is another manifestation of the growing dissatisfaction and greater awareness of the gap between the "haves" and the "have nots".
While all this crisis is going on,countries are worried about North Korea's new leadership, the new leader being barely 28 years old. Equally worrisome is Iran's nuclear tests. This was done after United States of America approved greater sanctions to be given to Iran. For elderly people, there is reason to fear Iran's "no care" attitude for many more untoward repercussions can be inflicted to those who seem to be mere spectators of the struggle between and among the superpowers.
Amidst all these, the elderly is left shaking her head and heaving a sigh. For one, Filipinos who are working in Syria are not allowed by their employers to come home. Protesters among the Syrians are not helping ease the tense atmosphere. It is said by n p r - find a station - the Syrian government continues its brutal crackdown against the protesters, including peaceful protesters. It is with a pleading heart and a humble call for peaceful settlements over brutal crackdown. What is President Bashar al - Assad doing to minimize the chaos.
May there be more intermediaries with the right reasons if peace will be given a chance. May there be more elderly blows and less of the elderly blues. Let us begin this quest for peace right in our homes.
