Interesting things are happening around us all the time. The past week was no exception. There are explosions in a few countries that Israel blames on Iran. Whitney Houston is rumored to have taken prescription drugs along with alcohol and drowned her in bath tub. Syria is on a boil and the situation is getting worse and worse.

Greek economy is still where it was a week ago – in the abyss. China says it will help the European Union come out of its financial crisis!

Romney looks forward to Michigan primary as Rick Santorum looks to be gaining popular support in the polls there.

All said, quite a week this one’s unfolding to be. How much does the world events affect the common man?

I have always wondered about that particular question. I would hazard a guess and say maybe not that much.

Local happenings affect immediately and global happenings are news to the common man.

Pain is something that is easily infectious. When a child is in pain in any part of the world and if it is beamed on television, one tends to pray for the baby to get well soon.

Hatred too is infectious. Patriotism is infectious.

Smiles are highly infectious too. Nothing like laughter to fill the room with happiness.

World will unfold with its share of tragedies and good news and our lives will go on.

Care for the one who care for you and pray that all goes well for one and all.

Wish you a great day!
