Every age in human history has milestones that are made of events shaped by what persons do or do not do. In our time there was an opportunity for great good to flourish as the result of the actions of a single woman. Had she realized her destiny our future as human beings would have benefited from wisdom and compassion that is now lost.
Now without her contribution we will all be faced with the darkness that is humanity without hope. Such is the value of one life. Such is price we shall all pay without ever knowing this bright soul.
On 2 December, the Electoral Commission declared that Ouattara had won the election by a margin off 54% to 46%. In response, the Gbagbo-aligned Constitutional Council rejected the declaration, and the government announced that country's borders had been sealed. An Ivorian military spokesman said, "The air, land and sea border of the country are closed to all movement of people and goods."
The UN has some 9,500 peacekeepers in the country.
Mr Gbagbo has told them to leave, accusing them of interfering in Ivorian affairs.
But the UN has refused to do so. It says at least 173 people have died in violence and scores of others have been tortured since the 28 November elections.
Almost 20,000 people - mostly women and children - have fled Ivory Coast for neighbouring Liberia, fearing further unrest.
One of those 173 people who had no idea she was special, was special. Her eyes would have seen peace on earth had see lived. I morn humanity.. no one has seen the beginning of justice in the history of our Human community here on Earth and now we must wait many more years to breath with true freedom and justice for all.

A Holiday Thought...
Aren't humans amazing? They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.
Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.
So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases.
Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.
Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and once a year send out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."

RE:A Holiday Thought...
Humanity has lost the kind of truth that has been the breath of Nature here on Earth. Once when Humans walked in truth life was Sacred in the minds of those who see. Now Humans are deceived and arrogant and our "eyes" are overwhelmed by technology.
I believe that Humanity is not in control here on Earth and that we are all used by another race as humans have use bees and yeast.
Some groups of Human beings became aware of how Sacred is life. They respected the exquisite truth in the life they used for food and depended upon for shelter and sustaining raw materials.
We have not one tic of the wisdom that is in the smallest living thing yet we pry apart the Sacred as if we knew...Science is only as true as the wisdom that in the eyes of the seeker.
