For a very long time, I believe since early childhood; since the time I gained my sense of self, got aware of the "me" in my body, the "me" in my soul; also, certainly on account of being born into an Arab, Moslem, Palestinian family; I've always been carrying this nightmarish thought within me, this gut feeling, this deep anguish, this profound fear that as and when, the whole world falls into deep slumber, or goes into indefinite hibernation, which in itself is not that far-fetched for all to see.
Thank you for writing this. Prayers for you and your family. Karl .... posted this on my web site: www.inequalityink.org
