So what’s the point here? “Oh dear, I witnessed a terrible thing and I wish I could go back to my witless ignorant existence”. Because that’s what I’m seeing here. We need to be aware of the horrors that happen every day. Not to cripple us with terror, but to help us sustain our perceived value of life.

Any time you throw a shroud over something and pretend it isn’t there, it’ll rot under that shroud and become worse and worse to clean up. Problems must be confronted head-on. The first step is acknowledging them.
