your dream broke my heart. and left it sitting in my throat.

i wonder about these questions too…how do you explain terrorism and racism? my kids are getting older…reaching thresholds where it is important they know that the world is not always fair or good, and that it is not always equal and that they themselves have a lot of privilege that others don’t always enjoy…so even “fair” and “good” are complex terms.

and i guess that’s the thing your title references, really…the thing that’s hard to look at. what drives people to act? what drives societal systems and structures to implode with seemingly differentiated acts? i don’t know.
