ONE

That number has a name.

When we watch the news about war and conflict,
we see numbers.
"30,000 dead." "470,000 displaced."
The larger the scale, the further reality drifts away.

We swipe past, and consider ourselves informed.
This is not coldness. It is the limit of human cognition.

We are moved by one person's words.
But not by numbers.

Then let us return to one.
Numbers back to names. Statistics back to words.

Swiping won't stop war or conflict.
But indifference is no different from a machine.
We can choose to know.
And if we know, change can happen.
