Congratulations people of Ukraine

As I was reading the news-feed about Ukraine a few minutes ago tears came unbidden to my eyes, something that surprises me more than anyone, as it's a very very rare thing for me. In a way, that in itself makes me sad because the people of Ukraine are hardly the only ones suffering out there, and I don't exactly sit every morning and shed tears for the people of numerous counties in Africa or Asia that deserve them just as much or more. But ofc, that is understandable, for if one was to continually reflect over the atrocities of the world, then one would not have time for much else than tears.
Whatever the case, it would seem the people of Ukraine are going to get their will through, to some degree anyway. And it is a truly fantastic thing to see democracy at work. And I don't mean elections, that sort of democracy is simply the best we have, but oh so flawed. I mean the people taking to the streets as if it was the 18th century and demanding that their will be obliged, risking injury or death.
I sincerely hope that if the day should come in Sweden that I have the courage to face the bullets.
People of Ukraine, I salute you!
