Horrors are always being perpetrated both on large and small scales. And have always and will always. Because quite simply we are able to perpetrate them if we deem them necessary for our comfort or well-being or ends. We may speak out against them but if we are to lead ordinary meaningful lives we must learn to work around them. Otherwise our awareness of them can paralyze us to the point we are unable act as free agents either in our own behalf or in helping others.
