My doctor was the first to wish me a 'Happy New Ox Year'. A chronically nervous lady with pretty blonde hair. Her greeting made me smile. I'm lucky to have healthcare. Many of my 1st world peers do not have this basic human right.
This new year of the ox looks dreary for the world. It feels like the price of colonialism or the post-trauma of colonialism has come to a peak. What if, the British empire had not divided Pakistan and India? What if the empire had not interfered in its Palestinian colony? What if the industrialized-western world had chosen integrity over exploitation of third world labor? What if the West had not taken on Bin Ladin as a refugee and trained him to manifest Al Queda? What if the West stays out of Afghanistan, Iraq and allow its governments to resolve its own troubles?
The ox represents patience, strength and insightful logic. These might just be the things I need to get through this year's trials.
