this is so depressing.

Imagine you dying and your wife prostituting herself so that her children can survive. And imagine the children being in the same room each standing in a corner (because there is no other room).

Life is unbelievably shitty for so many people on this planet. We prefer not to think about it. We have more pressing things, like our next training ride, or getting that new piece of camping equipment, or calling directv about the mtn, etc.

If only these were the problems of everyone on the planet.
