All I can think about is that explosion, the number of deaths just from the port area, the fumes and people in broken homes and apartments with those fumes coming in. This is horrific. Nothing we say can help Beirut but thinking of my friends there tonight.

Love to Lebanon
Replying to @Beltrew
I’m walking through streets strewn with shattered glass in a black out - with injured people stumbling about and ambulances wailing. Hospital staff pulling bodies out of gutted hospital one of 3 out of commission. The damage is staggering - how will #Lebanon bounce back?

The tiger on the loose in the 15th arrondissement of Paris has been shot dead on the Pont du Garigliano. He was from a local circus.

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.
