This really resonated with me on many levels. I think so many of us are traumatized and trying to cope with the fallout from it. I have often said to my husband that I don’t understand… I don’t understand how people can be so abusive to other people…how humans can kill other humans…how so called civilized persons can walk past someone in need and not reach out and help them. Costa Rica eliminated its military in 1948. The money was then redirected to education and green conservation and healthcare. If we could just cut our military budget in half and redirect that money to the things you mention… wow! Why not? I can’t think of a single reason.

Thank you again, this is a very dark hour. We are dealing with the crushing death from COVID and all of the terrible missed opportunities to be honest and truthful and most of all, kind. We have committed many crimes and we need to address them, or we will keep repeating them.
