The ragings of starvation…

    None of us, even in our wildest dreams, have experienced total starvation. Atleast, not when you were four years old!

1994 Pulitzer award.
A child, four years old, dragging himself for a morsel of food.
Death, the inevitable, grasps him.

    The photographer Kevin Carter killed himself after this incident. Why? Why can’t he just have given the baby some food? A piece of bread? A drop of water? The baby would have been saved… Did he think of it at that time? Did he think that he would lose his Pulitzer award?
   
    I hope that none of you are like Mr Kevin Carter… Save the starving … Restore the humanliness. Save a life… Live, and make live…

    I don’t understand why anyone would leave a child like that. Even if he didn’t have food, the least he could have done was taken the child to the food camp. I could never imagine just leaving.
