If you want to know how traumatizing it is to live in a terrorized zone speak to the terrorized, listen to their stories. People will do as they please as long as there is no accountability. The question we need to ask ourselves is: Are we stoking the fire or are we putting a damper […]
We should not allow ourselves to be distracted from the things that matter in our lives.
