"DAY 2049: June 26, 2018
Prompt: “So often the world sits idly by, watching ethnic conflicts flare up, as if these were mere entertainment rather than human beings whose lives are being destroyed. Shouldn’t the existence of even one single refugee be a cause for alarm throughout the world?” » Urkhan Alakbarov
What do you think?"

I think I agree! Ethnic cleansing in any form is a disgrace. Hatred is a disgrace. God created man in His own image and that means that men, all races and ethnic groups, have value. Jesus never turned anybody away. While He had come to preach the gospel to Israel at that time He still made it a point to serve any person who came to Him for help. Then He died for the sin of the whole world. If the nation of Israel had not existed He still would have died because He loved all nations.

Prompt: "Donald Hall, a former poet laureate of the USA, who passed away on June 23, 2018, once said, “Literature starts by being personal, but the deeper we go inside the more we become everybody.”
What are your thoughts on the quote?"

I would have to agree with him. I believe that every action we take changes us in someway. I won't be the same person I am now five minutes or even one second from now. I will have changed slightly even if it is nothing more than getting one second older.
