Thanks so much for this. For what it's worth, I'm not an angry person. I recognize how useless and distracting anger is. I owe that mostly to my ability to see solutions where other people see problems. However when there are no solutions to be found, and the problem is this large, I can't help but experience this sort of frustration. That said, the experience of writing this up and witnessing how this story resonates within people has been helpful. When I posted it I had no idea if people would upvote, especially with the obvious/shameless call to action for a donation. Seeing donations come in as a result of this has brought me to tears. Being faced with such a situation it's impossible not to feel cynical toward the the world. Thanks to everyone here for responding so positively. And you're so correct that life isn't a problem to be solved. I lose sight of that far too often.
