Like many, I don't really know what to do about this tragedy or any other. The amount of people on the nightly news who want to lend a hand, a dollar, their time and energy is uplifting. For every person who cares, there are many more who do not want to think or talk about sad or depressing circumstances. I find it impossible to forget the suffering of the world through the comforts of western life. I created this blog in the hopes that the process would lead to my learning how to be an active activist.
So, donate to Red Cross when I'm buying groceries? It feels sickening to have so much. Its like, okay, here is my twoonie for the good cause and now I can go back and watch tv and read fashion magazines and forget again.
I hope to find ways to give. I will share them with you.
