Flash: Some things in life are simple

after all. Take umbrage at the presence of

human rights abusers staking their territory

on this planet? Remember that old adage

of a tree falling in the forest? Invoke it

and practise not 'being there'. Should a

national entity make its mark by persecution

imprisonment, withholding the necessities

of life for its population in search of

control never bothering to resist the final

inclination of state murder, is it really any

of  your business? Moral censure makes no

inroad on cultures of psychopathy where

rewards are the obvious old attractions

spurring humanity to the solitudes of master

and slave. Pay no attention from afar. Misery

is the human condition. If you know nothing

of it, after all, it isn't happening. Is it?
