I appreciate your honesty. I find it so disheartening sometimes that we're all expected to respond with horror when something is being shoved in our faces, and then conveniently forget about it the next minute when something else happens. And you're right-- absolutely positively right-- that there is always something horrible happening. To ignore it is as silly as it is to only respond when it's socially acceptable to do so. And good god, if horrific things don't make the sun shining on your face that much more beautiful, and give us so much more to appreciate here in a non-mutilated, non-war-ridden, non-covered-in-water place, then there really is no hope for humanity after all. Thank you for writing this.
