A world with many faces

Yesterday's Irish Times carried a picture of pro-Russian advocates in a parliament building in eastern Ukraine.

Imagine what it could be like if we were all genuinely kinder and more understanding to each other.

The world can indeed be a harsh place, a place full of conniving, duplicity, sneering and dishonesty. Raw ambition too.
