For anyone in the fight against injustice around the world, especially concerning children, the battle has always been long and hard, and sadly it seems to be a declining one in many cases. I have recently found myself wondering if we had suddenly tipped the scales in the opposite direction, as recently the news wires, reports and e-mails seemed to be flooding my in box and weighing down my desk. It has gotten to the point lately where I feel out of touch, as I just cannot keep up with all the goings ons, and what to write about is more of a dilemma than ever…I find myself spending more and more time shifting through the stories wondering which one was more important to write about. Trying to decide what is more importing when you are writing about the suffering of children around the globe is never a winning or fair battle, and one will always fall short. However recently it seems to feel like it is disproportionately out of balance, but maybe it is just me and the holiday stress is just getting to me a little bit early this year.
Regardless, while I wish I could write on every issues, tell every story and cover all the regions equally…I can't! For that I do apologize when I miss something, when I cover it to briefly, I’m slow to cover or comment on something and even when I cover issues too much. I guess in this case though I am no different than all the other human rights activists, NGO's, charities, governments bodies and so many others working tirelessly to end the suffering of children everywhere. The climb for us all is steep, but well worth it even if we never reach the top!
