Unequal distribution of suffering

The most uneven part of our culture is how a crisis is felt amongst different groups of people. Everyone felt COVID-19, but some thought it more than others. The same is true about the 2008 financial downturn. A tsunami doesn’t have the same effects as someone in Iowa. If we are fortunate to be shielded from these disasters, we must find other contributing ways. Life is an unequal distribution of suffering. And when we see it, we choose to ignore it or act.
