Why is anybody bothering to report this? What are the lives
of a mere twelve boys worth? Twelve is a very small number – a tiny drop of
water in the vast ocean of human population. So why bother?
Because every individual matters. Because the fear and
anxiety of every one of their loved ones matters. And it matters big time. That’s
why no effort, expense or risk has been spared in trying to bring these kids
out of a very complex and dangerous situation.
This is the point at which the human animal finally proves
its worth and flies in the face of the ego-ridden psychopaths running the
world. I wonder how much emotional effort Trump expended on this situation – or
Putin, or Erdogan, or Duterte, or Assad, or Netanyahu (should I stop there?)
For my part, I admit to sobbing stupidly when I read the news
report. Not very man-like, is it? But at least it’s human when human is
something worth being.
