What IS acceptable? And if something is UNacceptable, what is our responsibility to change it? Just as your experiences in Rwanda made the whole genocide real to me - no longer notices pasted on telephone poles and other things around the city... so your sharing that a dose of medicine for a burned baby is $30 has reinforced my awareness of the inequity of healthcare in this country and places like you describe. I'm struggling with 'how am I going to pay for my necessary medications when I retire?' The answer is quite simply, I cannot yet retire. What if I could not buy the medicine to heal or even relieve my child from pain -- because I was too poor? Big difference between a child suffering beyond words or dying, and my wanting to retire at 66 rather than 70. I'm glad you still see the beauty of Africa. There is beauty nearly everywhere if we look for it. Some of it, like the mountains in Rwanda, jumps out at you. Some, like the love the mother for her burned child, has to shine through a lot of horror. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Carl. They make for a good nudge for my own thinking!!! And my own thinking needs a nudge! Rom Excellent questions, Carl! What IS acceptable? And if something is UNacceptable, what is our responsibility to change it?

No (if the Watts are the same). Nonetheless, beauty shines. We should believe in beauty in order to recognize it through a bright smile. "Unacceptables" are simply unacceptable. Giving fuel to a responsive action of aid. Nestor Is light brighter when shooting through a dark crevasse compared to just another stage light in a crowded concert hall?
