I originally took this photo when I was 18, walking around Bristol Township (PA) with some friends when we noticed this STOP sign that had the word “WAR” spray painted in white underneath. I couldn’t agree more with whoever it was that put that word there; I am not, and have never been in support of any war. No matter the original cause, the actions perpetuated in war eventually make it so that everyone involved becomes a “bad guy”, a perpetrator.


For all the people experiencing devastating genocide, senseless endless wars, and the apocalyptic levels of hunger and suffering we’ve all been indoctrinated into accepting as “normal” and “necessary” for society as a whole to survive and thrive, I dedicate this piece to you. Not every situation has to be a win-win, but if my “win” means someone else losing their home, their health, their family, then I have to do my best as an individual to mitigate my participation in a system that is so clearly flawed, while also understanding that there are limits to my personal abilities.

No one human’s happiness should have to come at the cost of another’s.
