Inured to it

They come to us as statistics. The people who are killed and the families that are left bereft and impoverished are unknown to us – their names, their faces, their lives never told. And it isn’t OK, even in the name of war. Any life taken is a crime, an abomination. Let us know this, and feel this. And stop.
