So tonight I'd like to send out my deepest condolences to all of those people in California and Oregon that have lost their lives, their homes and everything in the latest, devastating forest fires.
I can't believe that it's happening again, just a few months after the bushfires here killed 3 billion animals and burnt through more than 10 million Hectares.
I am so sorry that this is happening to you and all of your animals and my thoughts and wishes go out to everyone over there now who are or will be negatively impacted.
Please get out while you can and remember you may lose your things, but compared to your life, they are only things and you will never lose the memories. And please whatever you do, don't forget to take your pets- they are not things- they are breathing beings too.
And from one of my fave newspapers, the #SFChronical (RIP #BayGuardian...) has published this list of where to find help for displace animals, so if you know of any or see any yourself, then pls checkout this link so you can see who to go to here: https://www.sfchronicle.com/california-wildfires/article/Where-to-find-help-for-Bay-Area-animals-displaced-15511894.php AND #Bustle have published this list of centres here: https://www.bustle.com/p/animal-shelters-to-donate-to-as-california-wildfires-continue-burning-13147815

I'd also like to say how sorry that I am that the world is in such political, environmental and ethical turmoil right now with so many problems bubbling to the surface and as if the poor refugees that have had to flee their original homes to Greece due to war, poverty, man-made and environmental disasters hadn't had enough, now they are homeless again and living on the streets after a massive fire burnt their 'Temporary' homes (Refugee Camp/Detention centre) on Lesbos.
War is no-one's choice, bar the narcissistic, self serving, power hungry morons who 'lead' their countries into destruction and poverty because they can't contain the size of their egos and admit that they're wrong and yet the rest of the world blame the refugees for seeking asylum in their 'territory'.
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was like Hive, where we not only accept and even welcome each other, but celebrate each other and all of our differences.
Wouldn't it be great if we could care more about our fellow beings- animals ofcourse included in that, instead of caring for 'our' things, 'our' property.
We could be human without borders, like Medicien Sans frontieres.......and wouldn't that make such a huge difference to all of the beings in the world that are suffering from one catastrophe to another through absolutely no fault or desire of their own.
So here I am, Alive as I #thriveOnHive on the #HiveBlockChain in the #IAmAliveChallenge community created by @ErikGussafson known far and wide as @Flaxz who created the #IamAliveChallenge community for all of us around the world to come together to celebrate our victories and commiserate with each other in our losses and share the love, the I wouldn't be here at all and neither would you!

Meanwhile those who are supposed to lead the country are more involved with elections than anything else. Truly absurd, this world we live in. Thank goodness for the positive vibes on Hive.
Yes so true unfortunately. Where in the world are you Rarej?
And even worse is that they are terrible leaders- which is why they have to put so much focus on their elections, to try to convince people that they can do the job.
But if they really wanted to do such a good job, they've had plenty of years in the lead up to becoming the leader to practice, so I say too little, way too late.
In almost every country in the world at the moment, the citizens are revolting against their leaders and yes, many of them are protesting simply just because of the corona lockdowns, but then are those protesting against the cheating way that their leaders- their dictators, were able to stay in power.
Imagine being in Minsk in Belarus right now and watching your dictator cheat his way back into the presidency. I mean we already saw that in the USA a few years back with Bush and we're just about to witness it with trump...and so many others have witnessed it their nations too, which has bought about nothing but war, death, poverty, illness and the list goes on...😡
I understand your frustrations @chocolatescorpi. I am in Suriname, South-America, which has corruption on a third-world level. So I know all about terrible leaders, unfortunately.
Some political leaders usually have the skills theoretically, but choose to do bad instead because of their own thirst for money and power. And that's part of the problem.
What also helps these "dictators" is that they somehow manage to create a following of brainwashed mindless zombies. Usually the same people that suffer the most from their wrong-doings. Can't help but just laugh about it sometimes.
Oh so you guys in Suriname have dodgy peeps too in the govt?
Well actually I think that's a silly question of mine because where there is power and where there is human beings, there will be dodginess too...☹️
They're almost exclusively dodgy. Although, some of the younger generation delegates seem to have good intentions (for now).
Most centralized systems have that problem. This is where decentralized technologies like blockchain come in, cutting out the power-hungry dodgy middleman. :)
Yes, I'm just learning that.
I had never actually heard of the term decentralisation until just 80 days ago when I completely stumbled across hive by watching some premier pro tutorials on Youtube...
and it was like a chain reaction, from one to the other, to the next and so on and so forth until 5 days later, after must research I was in.
See I didn't have a friend that introduced me to it and none of my friends have every heard of it, but they are all over social media...
Ah yes, the dreaded information spiral. But good that you found it. Now you can introduce your friends to a more positive and less controlled social media. :)

STOPhow are you dear friend @chocolatescorpi good night
It is unfortunate what happens in the world dear friend, it is incredible that all this happens. I join the heartfelt condolences for so many deceased people.
Como si los humanos del mundo no tuvieran suficiente de qué preocuparse con el virus corona, ahora ni siquiera pueden quedarse en casa para aislarse por sí mismos, no tienen hogares ...
No creo que el mundo vaya en una muy buena dirección, parece estar empeorando e incluso estaba conversando con mi padre de 85 años, comentando no solo sobre la corona, sino sobre todos los disgustos ambientales, todos. de la inestabilidad política dentro de tantos países y ahora todos los líderes mundiales amenazándose entre sí, de EE. UU. a China, de EE. UU. a Rusia, de EE. UU. a Irán ... Desafortunadamente, creo que nos dirigimos a la Tercera Guerra Mundial y no creo que es cuestión de cuándo, pero quién va a presionar ese gran botón rojo ...
¿Qué piensas???
