You think that is the easy way out? Having to witness such horrors as that? Having to live each day thereafter, if you survive, knowing that, yes, you could have stopped it, yes you could have saved those children, but no, you did not stop it, no, you watched it.

Many people make this mistake. Mostly people from sheltered societies exposed all of a sudden to harsh realities that exist in other places.

As you say these things happen all the time everywhere in this world. And you can do lots to stop these things. Yet you dont. If you think it is so horrible? Why do you not? Because you are not there? Does it become less horrible for those involved at one place because you were not there? I do not get it. You are more concearned with your own feeling than that of those suffering? How noble.

Just because in one instance you were there and could do something about it...what about the ten thousand other places you could not be? Was it less horrible there?

Every second you can do something to save someone somewhere. And mostly it does not involve killing someone rather it involves living for someone. Why dont you?
