Many people form opinions not based on the facts. Women are often told to trust their intuition to empower themselves. Opinions not based on the facts lead to actions. These actions can harm.

I was watching a flock of birds and I wondered at their perfect movement.

I fear for their future.
These are small island communities without much support or political clout to get support. They are human beings and need our support. We should care about the plight of our neighbours. It could be a lost culture. They will need somewhere to live and continue their lives with dignity

I had cancer. It was scary.

I wonder how much the western world’s pursuit for economic growth, personal wealth and status ultimately has an impact on our levels of happiness, mental illness and capacity to generally have little empathy for others, even just on a day-to-day level between mates. Or is this just human nature? Are we fundamentally greedy bastards?
