Often our lives are difficult and too busy for us to be able to digest so much information that comes our way every day. Consequently, more often than not, we tend to overlook information that, we feel, does not directly impact us. Even when we do pay attention, the information is presented so matter-of-factly that it frequently leaves us emotionless, unaffected, and therefore unmoved to act.

I am a Croat, a Croat of Albanian ancestry. In the last year¹, my world has tumbled down. My dear motherland (Yugoslavia) is in pain. My family, my friends, my people are suffering. I feel the grief of loss of history, lives, and future.

What can I do to contribute to lessening of this pain and grief? I can not fight, even though that is what I feel I would like to do sometimes. I can not tell the warring people to stop, they can not hear me. But I feel I know what is right. If I could only motivate enough compassionate people to pay attention, to act out their consciousness, I will have fulfilled my duty.
