Skipped lunch today... it wasn't as hard as skipping meals for days at a time. Plus, I know where my next meal is coming from, unlike these others.
Sleeping in a different bed tonight... it won't be as hard as trying to sleep on rubble with the random sound of bombs going off overhead, wondering where the other half of my family is.
I am not proud that my country's high-tech weaponry is being used to destroy lives, homes, and facilities of civilians who can only throw stones to defend themselves.
If you also wish to participate in a countrywide exercise of compassion and solidarity with these hundreds of thousands of suffering souls who have no food, water, or medical care: This week (March 18-22) is devoted to all types of fasting in an effort to uplift the oppressed and shake off our helplessness.
Most of us are not able to go foodless for one day let alone five; but healthy people can skip a meal, skip a snack, fast for 12 hours, or use some other version that allows us to keep functioning in daily life.
The main thing is to keep our suffering fellow humans in mind, amidst our bounty.
