It's amazing how enourmously ones distance to something affects behaviour.
A construction area bridge collapsed today in Tapiola here in #Finland, injuring 24 pupils and the teacher on a school trip. The kids are from the same school as my kids and suffered various amounts of fractures due to the 5 meter drop. Once receiving the news I was unable to work for a while, feeling horrified of the experience the kids had to go through. Thinking if my #kids would have been on that school trip, and getting the phone call from the emergency services. Thinking how many parents I know who did get a call, how many friends of my kids got hurt.
Yet when kids get maimed or worse daily in Ukraine, and a ton of other places in the world, by bombs, violence or climate change driven extreme weather events, it's hard to even spend a long thought on it when reading through the news reports.
Amazing creatures we are.
