The things that have happened to us, indicate that entire communities of people have been enslaved and eradicated elsewhere, both in the past and ongoing.

I would like to hold this apparent fact, as a context for actions.  To know that what we do is incredibly important.  That every choice we make, is among this situation, and impacts it.

Great respect for what has been lost.  For things we have yet to learn what are.  Respect we have yet to learn how to live fully.
