I can hardly bear to read the news anywhere in recent days. The Haitian situation is like a horror story with no happy ending in sight.
I wonder why it feels like a sacrilege to be sitting in front of my computer, fed and clean, safe and sound, while horrible things are happening on the other side of the world. Some higher being made the decision to plant me here; I had nothing to do with the decision, so why do I keep feeling like I am doing something wrong, and I should also be suffering somehow?
I have no answers. And so I run away. Click on the next news topic. Flip the pages quickly.
Ignorance is bliss, but for some reason I can't stop that little hammering at my heart.
I think that's called conscience.
