Drinking Tea

I've been drinking a lot of tea today - as Johnnie notes, its the British (English) thing to do in a crisis.

What I sincerely hope is that the bombing has the opposite effect as intended. People are united against the terrorism, the G8 ensure hope for Africa and the planet with accords on the environment. Let's hope we all can stand up against injustice, ignorance and misunderstanding wherever we come across it. And...

...lets drink more tea; it helps.

And to add to being British, its raining in mid summer - it all adds to the stoicism. Interestingly just read the entry at wikipedia, particularly the section on brotherhood

All people are manifestations of the one universal spirit and should, according to the Stoics, live in brotherly love and readily help one another. They held that external differences such as rank and wealth are of no importance in social relationships. Thus, before the rise of Christianity, Stoics recognized and advocated the brotherhood of humanity and the natural equality of all human beings
