The very first photo almost left me in tears. Inspiring posts OP.

The first picture is terribly emotional. How heartless of the photographer to wait for hours he could have used in saving that childs life all in the name of a spectacular picture. I hope he had a painful suicide cos he deserved it.

@ num 1 pic . that's what most of us do nowadays . @ accident scenes u prefer taking pics than saving d victims

.

In michael jackson voice.....,Heal the World

So touching!

That polar bear ish got me pondering

S

Picture 3,the one of the dying soldier in the hands of a priest was moving....

Picture 5 is beyond sad. What kind of person keeps a giraffe and polar bear in front of wallpapers?

Picture 9,about the Rwandan genocide is a reminder of what could happen when we allow hate fester in our society. Secession agitators,take note.

Picture 14, Independence square,Kiev. I just opened my mouth wide agape on seeing this one. No one who has seen war first hand ever prays for it. I pray for Ukraine,but more so,I pray for my dear Nigeria,that we never ever see war again.......

Touching but is this the right section to post this stuff?

Touching pictures. The world has been through so much mostly coz of man's inhumanity to man, other creatures and his environment. Yet here we are in a country where certain individuals are spreading hatred and beating the drums of war.
