Description
PLEASE: no political commentsThis is my way of trying to cope with all the things coming on the world. I wish to stress, that in every contact, the main sufferer is the people of the land who live in the area where the conflict is. Their homes and their hopes destroyed, they are in position where nothing is secure anymore. Everything that they had yesterday - their plans for future, their families and friends, their holdings and favorite things. They lost them all - people have to leave the conflict areas to get away from the danger but can you imagine what that means? You can take only so few things.. Could you leave behind everything that has been part of your life for years? What to take and what to leave.. I hope I will never have to make that kind of decision.
Can you imagine what it means that when oneday you are living in world in country what is going on the side of democracy, starting to get into the level people feel ok and the next moment it is all turned worse than years ago? Can you imagine that some of your friends you chatted yesterday might been killed 24 hours later? Can you take the grief of losing your own family in so violent way? For me - this is even too much to think and I just start to cry.
So - this is my call for others like me - who are lucky enough to live in world where we do not know that kind of pain. We can help those people.
For soldiers and rulers, the war may be about drawing the border lines and expanding their lands but for the people - it is not. We should look into the heart of the conflict and see those little people who are thrown into the whirlwind of nothing sure and have to cope with it. I wish that you all could understand that despite the all talked politics on this conflict, there are real people in it. Real people like us who have feelings, who know pain. I wish that you could understand that and do little.
You ask what can you do? There is definitely something you can do. In my country, I think, quite many people have tried to do something. We have Red Cross who takes donations to help get first aid and things needed for some kind of comfort for people in Georgia. We had song festival to celebrate our history and 20 years of events what ended with independence to my country and on that song festival in the end, we sang song for Georgia.. for the people of Georgia to know they are not alone. We know they are there and we will try to help them.
I will try to help them. I am student and my stipendium is all my income but that do not stop me to give donation to help those people. So, maybe you can also give something to help them. I am sure you could search from internet for local organization who organize sending help there.
Notice people around you and no matter how bad it may look I hope that there is always a light and brighter future and every dark hour can be overcome. There is always something we can do! That I wish to tell with this picture.

I know how you feel. Iβve seen and heard things that are extremely disturbing and have made me cry several times. And I can be very cold when it comes to those emotional things. Have you ever watched βMy boy Jack?β I recommend it. Its unsettling in a way, but it gives you a piece of what it would have been for people like Jack. Youβre very right about being lucky to live where we do-in safe environments. Most children in Iraq donβt live to the age of 4 years old. Isnβt that a tragedy? At this point in time I canβt see anything I can do for those children right now. Iβm only twelve. A 7th grader. I think if I was in the situation that you described I would be very ferocious in many ways. My human survival instinct would really develop, and Iβd be fighting for my life and nobody elseβs.

One cant have one without the other, adieu.
Its beautiful, and really, it conveys something important, but i dont know what to say.

too beautiful for words... to simply put it
a grand message, that i think everyone needs to hear. we are martyrs all, but some die sooner than others, and those are the people we need to help, because although pain is sometimes everlasting, all wounds can be treated

It's lovely that you made a tribute to them. From an artwork standpoint, this is beautiful, as always. And also as always from you, it has a beautiful meaning and purpose behind it. When looking at your work, I think anyone can appreciate the way you care about people, and grow to do the same thing through seeing your work and the words behind it.

Amen. Oftentimes we think we can do nothing, and so we don't do anything. But even a tiny bit is something, a few dollars, a kind word for a person in need...
People often say that it's impossible to change the world and so, we should just look out for ourself. But I think otherwise. Many people doing small things add up to a large thing, a large change.
For the meaning in your piece (plus your skill really impresses me ), a

Beautiful work and emotions. I do not understand the conflict from my place in the world, we get only one sided information on the conflict so I don't understand what actually happened. It was conveyed here that Georgia invaded another country in Russia and that Russia stepped in to help that country. Whatever the politics of it is you are so right...it's always the people that suffer terribly and although I live in a country where this has never happened, I truly and with all my heart empathize with those people who suffer. Your art truly portrays those emotions that are brought about but such tradgedy. Politics is the bane of the human race and this our lovely planet. If artists ruled the world what a wonderful place it would be.

I am sorry for rather political comment, I just couldn't help it. Your picture is brilliant and so is the comment.
I'm Russian and I wish that the name of your picture was "For Georgian and Ossetian people". I don't want to seek who is right and who isn't. I dare to say that in politic there are no such things like truth, honor and justice. That's a pity, but I think that it is so. When the war had started I was abroad, I was at my holidays. And I had a chance to watch both Russian and foreign channels. It was awful. Our country lied in some things, but other countries lied in others. And I feel sorry for those people, who trust everything what they hear.
To sum up I want to say that I have really nothing against Georgian people. This is all politic, only a few people who are responsible for this nightmare. I feel sorry for BOTH Georgian and Ossetian people, cause they are only victims. Both of them are. And I feel sorry for the name of your picture. I'm against the war, not Georgia or Georgian. Hope you all will understand me.
