I know some people dont like to be reminded of sad stuff, but Ide say we have to remind ourselves globally so this will be over as soon as possible, and also put our own "dramas and tantrums" under perspective.
For other people its easier to look away though and live in their own "happy bubble".
Im no saint, many times I forget about this, but what if we all did a little protesting? One VT page, one email to your friends, one letter to your government, would it help if our votes depended on this?
