On page seven of yesterday’s newspaper, the headline read: GAZA: 85 KILLED WHILE SEEKING AID.
The story was on page seven because it was commonplace, not really news. People kill people every day.
To deal with this I need principles that I can express clearly to myself. Something simple.
Now that I’m 90, I have time for clarity.
“Do the right thing.” That’s basic. What it means depends on the context, but it sometimes cuts to the core of problems that otherwise seem intractable.
Is killing 64 men, women and children standing in a line to seek aid the right thing to do?
