Balance



Every day, nearly 170 billion hours are lived. People wake up, eat and drink (if they can), and live their lives.

Every day, countless lives are forever altered. Men are enslaved, women are abused and raped, and children suffer all of the above.

Every day, people’s lives are ended, through disease, through misadventure, through war and peace and the inevitable enemy, time.

Every day, evil is allowed to triumph because it is ‘just how life is’ or because ‘we can’t get involved’ or because ‘it’s better than the alternative’.

But hey, a royal baby was born. That’s much more important.
