The animals
In the news ...
Activists risk their lives to rescue animals in areas of Lebanon hit by Israeli airstrikes
Hours after an Israeli strike destroyed a three-story building in Beirut, killing at least 10 people, Maggie Sharawi received a telephone call from a person living nearby saying that the attack had killed a cat that had several kittens.
While civil defense members were combing through the rubble for human victims or survivors, Sharawi and other members of Animals Lebanon, an animal protection organization, also rushed to the scene in Beirut’s central Burj Abi Haidar neighborhood Friday.
They began climbing through rubble, twisted metal and collapsed walls to reach the kittens. The animals, just a few days old, were pulled out ...
Seeing this story tonight made me feel kind of sick, not just because I'm worried about all the animals that are getting hurt in the wars, but also because I'm pretty sure that I should be feeling that way about the humans too. But I'm mostly not. Not a good sign :(

For the sake of my mental health I have to step back from the news cycle of the wars, since there is nothing I can do that will affect them. The only thing I can do is pray and commend the people involved to God. And when I can, contribute to an aid agency which helps victims.
It's a hard thing to come to terms with, that there is always so much suffering around the world. Not just human-caused suffering but also natural disasters.
