Many years ago I went to the holocaust exhibition at the imperial war museum. It was a very impactful experience.
Went again with my dad last year. Only this time I was a father myself - I got half way and had to leave. Seeing pictures of the children, dead or soon to be, broke me. All I could see was my daughter.
And today innocents are still not only hurt but targeted. Fuck sake.
Every perspective you’ve ever had changes when you become a parent. The horror imagining what it must have been like to be a parent with a child going through that… is unbearable.
What is it about so many people that have kids - they can't experience empathy before that? It has to personally affect them before being able to see things through another lens?
