I thought about that, actually, and for that reason didn't make the post when it first occurred to me to do so, after the news of the cyclone in Myanmar. Honestly, I hesitated to make the post at all.
On the other hand, the scale of the suffering is so extreme, that it has been breaking into my own insularity. I simply wanted to acknowledge that.
Yes, it probably doesn't make a damn difference.
I don't care. There are a lot of things a person can do that "don't make a difference" but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be done.
It seems important to me, today, to do it anyway. I don't know why. But it does.
