Favorite Quote:
Elie Wiesel put it best: “None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness… Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

When we look at

our surroundings,
we become ignorant of it.
We become ignorant of what's

actually there,
the love that's actually there.

We simply ignore it.


We don't choose to, it


just happens.

It's always there.

The love and the warmth.
