The Chaos We Cannot Not Know

As such sad images would continue to deluge the world of photography, the immortalized sentiments of grieve and pain in this photo, unfortunately, would too continue to inundate many more lives in Syria as a resolution is not reached. In its neighbouring countries and in Africa, such plight is indiscriminately inflicted on the lives of the innocent peoples. Injured, displaced, loss of family members or the worst are but the cruel scheme of human’s dissolution and corrosion in his traits. Dreaded is the unresolved continuity, the impossibility to help and the fatalities of humanitarian aids, alike the wanting an extermination notwithstanding infant, children or women. Violence mutation demonstrated the most evil ones. Grim subject but not untrue.

"A physically disabled woman clashes with riot police in the centre of La Paz, Feb. 23, 2012. Hundreds of physically disabled people arrived in La Paz after completing a protest march of some 1600 km (994 miles) over a hundred days to demand that Bolivia's government offer support in the form of 3000 bolivianos ($434) payment to each physically disabled Bolivian.

February 23, 2012, hundreds of Bolivian disabled people demonstrated in La Paz. The disabled participants, with 120 of whom 75 disabled marched 1000 miles to Bolivia’s main city, La Paz, demanded better benefits and treatment, and, prominently, highlighted the urgent plight of the marginalized group. The ministry of health listed 35 thousand disabled nationwide, starkly contrasted the human-rights groups estimation of 600,000 or 6% of Bolivia’s population. They demanded yearly stipend of £325 and special recognition. Violence was reported but not confirmed but it was indeed an uneasy task for the authority. The author could not find updated news of an outcome. However, such news do mirror the author the images of fortunate, unfortunate and worse; the author considered himself in a very fortunate position and truly wish the best outcome not just for these Bolivian disabled people but the rest in the world.
