It scares me how most people who've been here long enough, fail to be shocked by anything anymore. It seems they become accustomed to the daily struggles and injustices the Haitian people are faced with. What would happen if we were to stop being shocked by injustice. The answer is exactly what's happening now. Entire countries where people drink polluted and parasitic water, die of dehydration, eat clay biscuits and live on less than $1/day. This is the reality we live in. Yet, it's so easy to ignore when you're not waking up to children dying from hunger and mothers begging for food to feed them.
