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 do understand you. I was little scared, to be honest, reading your comment when I started and read that you are from Russia but I am very happy with what you write (if that can be the right word). You are not the first one to notice, that maybe I should have changed the title and I have had long thoughts about it.. and maybe I will change it.. as my message is about the people... and the title does not reflect it..
Anyway, I really thank you for your side of story.

Thank you very much for understanding. I was a little bit scared to write it, cause I thought that I can be misunderstood. I watched foreign channels and I know how people must think about all this. Politicians aren't stupid, so they know how to present events to citizens. Foreign channels talked very much about Russian troops attacking Georgia and said too little about events in South Ossetia. Russian channels talked much about South Ossetia and too little about Georgia. Actually, nobody lied. But not telling everything is kind of lie too. We are too easy to manipulate. I just want everyone do not hurry with their conclusions. Most of you have seen only one side. That's not your fault. I was lucky to see both sides.
Also I want to say that everything what I thought about when watching television - "Please, stop it!". No matter, who are these people - Georgian or Ossetian. All of them have the same dreams, souls and hopes.
Sorry for my awful English.

This is such a beautiful piece! I love how you put so much into this, and I couldn't have said any of that better myself. Very, very well done.
I actually have a friend who is half-Georgian, and she was visiting family in Georgia around the time of the attacks. She said it was really scary, and she almost wasn't able to come home because the airport's radar had been bombed. But, she's home safe now.
Anyways, this is a very beautiful piece. My prayers go out to all of the people of Georgia who have lost their loved ones in the conflict

I'm Georgian, so I find this very gratifying to know that some one can express our oppression this well. Well done again. Georgia's been overshadowed by the more powerful, more popular Western Europe, obscuring it from notability, when all of a sudden, Russia attacks from the North. It gave us publicity-but as the weaker country, the victim...We are strong, but not in the ways of war. You have depicted us as the way we stand-the dawn breaking, hope for a new day in these dark times. thank you

my dad's Georgian, like, his dad came from Georgia, then my dad is a US citizen, and so am I, but this hit us pretty hard here. I'm so happy I got to you! You constantly inspire me.. Can I have your permission to write that piece? I have a million sentences running through my head already...I'm definitely gonna fave that piece!

sorry, but my russian is not too good. I got your point: you are not the first one to notice that maybe I should have made the title "For Georgian people" as on the description I explain the reason of making this - to get people doing something to help the civilian population suffering when other fight for borders.
And I am glad you like the image
