Opinion "A hot shower, running water, light: In exile, each one returns me to Gaza by Ahmed Dremly Three weeks after evacuating to Italy on a scholarship, every comfort of a safe and normal life only deepens my guilt for those I left behind. ,.,..,,.,. My friends, both in Gaza and abroad, keep asking the same question: "What do you feel?" For more than four days, I could not answer. My mind was on the verge of exploding, unable to process the transition or comprehend how I had even survived. Eventually, I began to unpack a mix of intense gratitude for the kind Italian people who helped me evacuate to study, and a profound, burning anger for all the normal things my people are deprived of due to the Israeli occupation." https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/hot-shower-running-water-light-exile-each-one-returns-me-gaza #gaza #genocide #students #italy #fireworks #water #kindness #trauma #guilt

A Dutch newspaper (AD) recently published an explanation of why many people find vegetarians and vegans annoying. In short, it boils down to the fact that vegans are right and serve as a living mirror for people who actually feel guilty about their animal-unfriendly consumption. Maybe I am being annoyingly logical, but then just stop eating meat. Bye bye cognitive dissonance. 1/2 #Free #Guilt #Advice #Vegan #ImLovingIt
