Untenable Circumstances

Here is the plight of hundreds of thousands of human beings in Gaza who don’t know which way to turn: impending famine is no longer impending, apparently. This is in part why many of the students on campuses are protesting— they’re sick of war always being the only option, they’re trying to raise awareness of the inhumanity of it all, the base inconsideration of human needs.

The saddest part is that Gaza isn’t the only place. Famine has returned to places in Africa that are suffering through yet another drought.

War sucks. Poverty sucks. Climate change and happenstance suck. People are stuck. But why are there always so many children? What kind of future are parents expecting for them?

Sorry, I can’t think of a more delicate way to ask that.
