“I work at the UNHCR, but I have a quite junior position. I have a desk job where I reach out to job candidates and try to get them to consider UNHCR. But whenever there’s an emergency, anyone who has a useful skill is sent to the field. This is my first emergency mission. My father is Iranian so I speak a little bit of Farsi. I didn’t realize how useful that could be. Yesterday I was helping an Afghan woman carry her child across the Serbian border, and I was explaining to her what she could expect when we arrived. She was so comforted by the little information I could offer. I’ve seen so many faces light up just because they heard “Welcome To Croatia” in their mother tongue. I’m thankful for my desk job, but this is why I joined the UNHCR.” (Tovarnik, Croatia)

Surrender; it’s the only way to win the war, the one being fought within, deep down in the trenches of your mind. Wherever that may be . . .

Can I do it? And if so, what then?

Their Blood Is On My Hands: The Latest Massacre And Owning My Part. | Rebelle Society

Overcoming this issue when it’s so engrained in American culture is going to be a journey, and it will be long. Prepare yourself, because the first step will not solve the problem immediately. We must accept that our journey will be imperfect, and that we will make mistakes, and that the solution will evolve along with our society.What is unacceptable is we’ve not yet taken one step forward on that journey, because we’re stuck in the fight for what we each think is the right solution. There is no right solution. There is only the start of the journey towards becoming whole again. Fighting over a right solution does not lead to the solution, there is enough evidence to prove that.Start talking about and demanding action be taken, and let’s actually take our first step on the journey to stopping innocent people dying unnecessarily and causing trauma and pain to ourselves and each other in the process.The United States can and must heal from these massacres. They must become a part of our history, not our present-day reality, and that starts with me and you letting go of the battle and focusing on taking our first step forward, whatever that may be.
