Turning a blind eye
Gives momentary relief
But changes nothing
Only actions gets results
Poverty kills if ignored

You’re really poking your fingers into all of the issues, aren’t you? :) It takes courage to choose to see, because in order to see, we need to include ourselves as culpable – and that is hard to do…

Yes I suppose I do. Writing about social issues is my favorite thing to write about even if all I do is raise someones awareness. I certainly have been guilty of “turning a blind eye” from time to time myself so this one is as much for me as anyone else.
