And now for a slightly different view

In my usual perusal of the news I came across this article.
It is always important, during times of stress or abhoration, to avoid being used. I find that being used is an insidious thing and the people who use you are quite subtle about it and then you are trapped. The only way to get out of it is to recognise what is happening and not be sucked in from the beginning.
I've had this at work recently where someone was trying to use me. My radar is getting better. I managed to step out after only one round....
This is particularly poignant for me who's grandfather was given the directorship of a private company, by a Jewish family, for the reason that Hitler had murdered all other members of the family. He was given the directorship of the company and asked to run the company until all the current employees had retired. His integrity was such that he did exactly what was asked of him, rather than try to make large sums of money by merging with another company. When all the employees had left he facilitated a merger with Johnson and Johnson and retired.
In the Article it talks about people chanting and writing that Hitler was right. Was he? He murdered 3 Million Polish Catholics and hundreds of thousands of gipsies. There are those in this world who will say that was the right way to go. Not anyone who is welcome in my home though....
When all is said and done in the current Israel Gaza conflict, there will, eventually, in small print and hidden away from sight, be a lot written about the duty of care Hamas had for their people and the duty of government to ensure that this kind of conflict should never have happened. A duty which they, quite deliberately, failed miserably in.
Have a care who is using you.
