Spirit


She stands mute before the emptiness of evil, feeling the insufficiency of any known system of explanation. Survivors of atrocity of every age and every culture come to a point in their testimony where all questions are reduced to one, spoken more in bewilderment than outrage: Why? The answer is beyond human understanding. Beyond this unfathomable question, the survivor confronts another, equally incomprehensible question: Why Me?
