So many atrocities. Sacrifice determines dominance... It's meant to be about ❤️. We're all so distracted and removed from our essence.

The attack on France’s national holiday rocked a nation still dealing with the shock of the attacks last November in Paris that killed 130.

It has since been confirmed the country’s national state of emergency, which was due to end on 26 July following the Paris attacks, has now been extended by three months.
