I am currently in study hall and I'm not quite sure what to do...so I decided to blog. Well after I got home from work last Thursday, I started chatting with my sister. She was telling me about something she saw on CNN that really depressed her--CNN was documenting on the poverty in Somalia. A father of six boys, five of which died of starvation, was now losing his last son for the same reason. In such destitute circumstances the old man still attempts to put on a brave face for the cameras. He has maybe a cup of water or less than that. With what little water he has he tries to decide whether he should use the water to wash the body of his last son before the burial or if he should save the water to drink for himself. After hearing this I was reassured that my topic for the research paper would be famine in Africa, Somalia particularlly. What has this world come to when a father has to make a choice like that? Life is too unfair.
