“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”― Haile Selassie

There’s so much going on out there in the world that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with the insanity. We’re getting numb to it–and that’s the goal. Forget what’s normal, forget what’s right and then everything has no value, no principles and virtues die. Yes, things are bleak. In the midst of the chaos, there are bright spots: no, not these links (while they might be pretty). I won’t try and point those out, we all need to decide for ourselves and fight for them.
