Rwanda There is a despairing predictability to this age. After two years of the pandemic, our leaders learned nothing from it but how to better deny the facts, our history and our humanity.
I wish humans were all wired to experience greater rewards from empathy, than from power over others and codifying inequity for their own self aggrandizement. And most do, or at least would not strive to deprive others in that pursuit. Unfortunatly those who do seek such power, are both more obsessively persistent and able to frame themselves as otherwise. They are currently in control of a world their pursuit is destroying, for everyone. Even them, eventually.

These stories are the food of hope, John. Thanks for them.
