Yes, it saddens me to think that there are those who starve to death and what I mean by that is that there are millions, billions and trillions of humans that breath the way I do, feel the way I do, share the same planet as myself and you, the reader, and are as much human as you and me but work for days and weeks, months and years for an income that may or may not afford them to buy a piece of bread that does not keep them or their children alive. A piece of bread to feed the children that suffer from malnutrition and weep as their organs painfully fail them. Fathers coming home (by home I do not mean a roof but an occupied space of nothingness) to a child that is no longer able to move a limb because the child’s last organ has given up its last beat. Yes it saddens me and it should sadden you too.
It saddens me that there are humans that do not feel as saddened as me. It saddens me that there are those who are just as human as me and you but are less fortunate for why have we been brought up to be more fortunate? We are no more human, no better nor more characteristically privileged to deserve to be born in better circumstances than them.
Humans of Angola by Lara Sabry
Yes it saddens me to constantly come across voiceless and harmless animals that are viciously torn, laying motionless in the middle of the streets. It saddens me to watch all that is living be abused by others that are equally human but unequally humane. It saddens me to know that the abuse has caused the death of many and the extinction of more. It saddens me that humanity has lost its meaning.
It saddens me that we have become so incredibly determined to climb the ladder of what can only be defined as social and political structures of complete bullshit. That as a human we have come to terms so passively with the structures that have conditioned us to seek success in the form of a written position on a business card. It saddens me that we are more determined to sustain a corporation rather than sustain the well-being of a living thing. It saddens me that success can not be attributed to saving a life, sheltering a homeless and voiceless animal or preserving nature.
