I used to try to tell that to my clients every day:))) Your words really capture it.
If only all of us would put our daily occupations ot the side for a moment and deeply consider this very question! When that happens, we will take a leap toward creating th ekind of society we all want to live in.
I share deeply in the intensity of your feeling, Umair. And I believe we have to start a global movement that FINALLY stands for human life and has th emuscle and will to protect it. I've been writing about that recently and invite you to read and respond if you consider that a feasible path.

Thank you for the deeply truthful writing!
What a wonderful choice to draw attention to this reality now, David, as the world is gripped in the pangs of such a powerful transformation, yet many ordinary lives carry on as if nothing significant is happening that one can re-orient themselves to. In fact, every one of us is called on to be part of this shift if we just took time to acknowledge that life-as-usual makes no sense any more. Thank you.
That pretty much sums up what we are all facing. I do not agree with your dismissive attitude to President Biden's efforts, but your overall vision of what is urgently needed is spot on.
Thank you! Finally someone writing about what is the most obvious and pressing solution! I tried to write about that too in https://elena-mustakova.medium.com/a-lesser-peace-and-a-greater-peace-a299f3f76ade
But you are right - this is STILL an unpopular truth, despite all our admiration for the heroism of the Ukrainians. One has to wonder how much more loss of human life and unspeakable suffering it is going to take for us to life our eyes and focus on carrying out the only viable solution.
