I look at the shit that happens around the world and am, for the most part, numbed to it.
I live in New Zealand. It's a tiny little bit of not quite paradise at the arse end of the planet that feels lucky if we get included on maps of the fucking world.
All this shit... It happens to "other people" that are "a long way away". It happens in countries that are fucked up due to their own internal issues. Issues that spill over into other areas and other countries but, for the most part, issues that they have a had in in one way or another.
