In a world where headlines compete for shock value, portraying scenes of unimaginable horror, and social media amplifies the divisions, it's easy to lose sight of humanity amid the turmoil.

In the past two years, I have read stories of human suffering that I wished I had never read, and in the past days, I have seen videos I never wanted to see. In times of large-scale atrocity, I hope more people would stop for a moment and consider that you find many families who never wished for violence on all opposing sides in these conflicts.
