It could have been a jungle firefight, frequent beatings at home or genital shock-treatments on days which never end for sisters and brothers who live constant pain, changed forever by war. Maimed for a lifetime, the next person you see may be a combat veteran, woman, man, elder, child. So please, try to walk softly. Try to live as much kindness as you can because no one has to be shot at to get battle fatigue. You can hear children crying.
