The world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it. --Helen Keller


We can teach the blind to see, the deaf to hear and make the immovable move but we can't seem to remove the pain that many of our own suffer. We want to make the grass more green, the skies more blue, make the animal kingdom stronger yet we enjoy the suffering of our own. I have recently read something I never knew existed before, FGM- Female Genitalia Mutilation and for some reason I am growing attached to this issue, as though I can help find a way to stop it. I would go into the details of what FGM is, but just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach. Basically, in certain cultures they find it okay to remove the outer portions of female genitalia including but not limited to the labia and clitoris. The ways they do it make the process even more gruesome; all of it an attempt to stop young women from having sexual intercourse before marriage. In my opinion, there are much better ways!
