Yesterday's Irish Times carried a picture of pro-Russian advocates in a parliament building in eastern Ukraine.
Etched across the faces of some of the men was terrible anger, violence and hatred.
Nothing at all to do with their pro-Russian sentiments. More to do with that side of our humanity that can make us angry and violent.
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.
