It's only been a few hours..

The news are all over the World now.. at least, as far as the Web goes..

Pop and Jazz artist Amy Winehouse is dead, and thousands of people are struck with sorrow.. The singer had, after the release of two acclaimed albums, won numerous musical prizes, among which the prestigious Igor Novello award, and also several Grammys. Although the media focused on her addictions and her stints at Rehab, Winehouse was universally known for the outrageous vocal performances and lyrics that had touched the hearts and ears of fans around the World. Her departure at such a young age will remain a tragedy, and the cause(s) of her death should remind all of us how careful we still need to be regarding the availability of 'illegal substances' to everyone, celebrity or not.

Terrorist attacks have caused the death of nearly hundred persons in Norway, and Humanity is starting to remember that terror is underlying our lives anywhere now.

There is no solution that will come soon enough to end the tragedies of Humanity. As much as we progress in any field, the News remind us everyday that, for every step forward, there are deliberate circumstances taking us steps behind.

Let us pray for the Souls of the departed, and may the Heavens have mercy for all of us still alive, in order for us to look at where we are heading. Unless we start to make the change in our Hearts, there may not be many options left for our future and, more importantly, for the sake of the generations to come, our own children.

  2. Aaliyah, Heath Ledger, Britanny Murphy, Michael Jackson, now Amy Winehouse..
    Does every person I truly admire has to die young?
    Are they being taken away so that they don't see the way the Human Race is destroying itself?

    Maybe they were too special to deal with the latest human disgraces........
    Maybe they were called sooner by the angels up above so they could help shed LIGHT on EARTH....
