Love in the time of war

We live in perilous times. Here in the middle of June, the world is seeing wars and war-like situations all over the world for the first time since the end of World War II.

We in India had our challenging times a few weeks ago, and there are conflicts happening in literally every continent with major flash points and a whole lot of other fires burning that are along other stress points that are not really getting global attention because of their more limited impact, but the fact remains that we are at maybe the closest to a global crisis than we have ever been in close to a century. Whether one is an Iranian in love with an Israeli, or an Indian with a Pakistani, or a Chinese with a Taiwanese, or a Rwandan with a Congolese, when things get to a head, our different loyalties get called into question.
