I am deeply saddened. My prayers go out to the families of MH17.

This is very shocking and my deepest sympathies to those families affected, words cannot describe what they must be going through. There is a lot of violence in the World happening at this moment, which is being shown day and night on the news (hence I avoid it most of the time). We need to rise above the violence and promote peace, love and positivity.

When will all this mindless killing end? Mankind is supposed to be the most evolved species and yet it’s the only one that commits acts of war against it’s own kind. It really is time that pacifism and caring became the order of the day and that warmongers became a thing of the past.
My deepest sympathies towards the families of those that were murdered today.

Yes, well said Doron. We need more peace and balance in this world. Everyday there is so much violence. In my country the crime rate is ridiculously high. When I watch the news, it’s all about fighting and tragedy. It’s time to bring peace and positivity back to our world x
