To weep for humanity

[ButYouGottaHaveASkillJeff]

In the space of about 10 minutes I've read about a father in Afghanistan selling his 9 year old daughter to a 55 year old so that they can afford food.

Then if that wasn't shocking enough, the next story was a 'man' who had been injecting his toddlers with heroin to get them to sleep. Social work criticised over bit acting fast enough.

I can't put into words. What the fuck is going on? In my line of work I read about shitty humans and horrible stories daily but this is something else.

Don’t look at the Star Hobson case if you’re already feeling down. There’s a lot of awful news at the moment.

It’s shit but nothing new.

Now you hear about it.

And I can't read any more of the Arthur Labinjo-Hughes case.

Maybe stop reading/watching the news?

The sad thing is that these horrible things have always happened. They’re just reported on a lot more now and we have access to a lot more news.

I never watch or read the news as I find it too depressing

The world has always been full of horrible things. And wonderful things, too.

We hear about more of them more often now, that's all.

Absolutely do not Google “Fauci, PETA and puppies’ unless you want to be sickened to the core by it. I’ve read a lot of horror/ sci fi/ dystopian fiction and that just about comes close to the worst of it.
