LESSONS THE CHANGE IN UKRAINIAN CONDITION TEACH US

The sudden deterioration in the human condition in Ukraine shows how adversarial circumstances can humble and cripple the best of people.

Only about four weeks back the Ukrainian people were a strong, confident, happy, and prosperous people. Today they looked miserably poor, broken, sick, and tired.

The change wasn't of their own doing. They were forced into a damaged and deteriorated life by an oppressor.

It is so important not to ignore poor, sick, and broken people. To listen to their stories and to show compassion is a vital necessity. To blame them for anything shouldn't even be the last thing on anyone's list. The poor, sick, and broken need help and restoration.
