Truth is certain, believing it does not make it true.
I do not understand the ways of this world and have always been burdened by them but these last fourish months have opened my eyes to even more..
I cannot explain why the well goes dry when others obliviously waste water
I cannot explain why families living in a hut surrounded by crops are dying of hunger
Why do some people desire education so badly and cannot pay their school fees, while others refuse to take advantage of the knowledge they are able to receive
I will never understand nor do I want to understand how a man, father, brother, son, uncle, friend can molest an underdeveloped girl and get pleasure in that
Why do some kids get to play barefoot on the grass while other kids don’t even have shoes and have never and will never feel what soft ground feels like
Why is prostitution merely the next step for some, while unthinkable for others
How can one’s child be tossed around unwanted and forgotten so easily
How can fear manifest itself so intensely that it becomes the reason for every action
Why do some kids get taken out of their living conditions and get to experience love while others are stuck starving, hurting, helpless
I do not understand the power behind the action of love
Why are some kids forced to never enjoy their childhood because they are too busy working for their family or being the caretaker
I don’t understand why the fences create such walls, barriers, and segregation within same people groups
I cannot explain the joy I see in some of the kids despite their circumstances
Injustices are everywhere. Things I cannot and will not be able to explain are everywhere. I have seen a different kind of love here, a pure love. The kind that loves through the dirt and the pain. I have seen pain and how different cultures simply look at some of the pain as a way of life. That way was here before I got here, and even if I didn’t see it, it was still here. In the same way, you can choose to learn about it, or you can remain innocently ignorant. But just because you do or do not know about some of the pain in this world, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Be careful though, because when you see it, it changes you. You are sometimes moved to action when you don’t want to act. God may spark something in you that becomes the answer..
