I wrote something in the Breaking news of the death of the talented Kobe when I said “ he had a good life full of wealth and adventure. Meanwhile we got 500 Somalis blown to oblivion on an instant. I have my own grief to be preoccupied with”. Some kid cane running at me in that thread and said “ you’re not a basketball fan”. As a matter of fact I was playing basketball when the news was broken to me. Naturally I was shook. I grew up with him. I enjoyed his god given abilities. He was a great man as much as I know from afar. But then I stopped and put everything into perspective whereby I told myself oo kuwa maalin kasta ku dhimanaya Somalia why don’t I mourn as heavily as I’m for the helicopter crash victims. Now he has returned to his creator. No amount of money can bribe the scale of deeds he left on this earth. It awaits us all.
It is shocking and surreal to many of us but it was Josef Stalin who said “death of one person is a tragedy but death of millions is just a statistic”. This is after he was asked “ you killed millions”. ( I hope you folks know who Josef Stalin was)
Nonetheless as a human and a father I sympathize with the children left behind but they’ll be ok.
Let’s pray for Muslims of China and Somalia.
