And if I don’t take action, certain processes, even the most devastating ones, will take their course, not because they were meant to take this course, but simply because nobody changed their direction or stopped them. And if I don’t care about it, I won’t take action. And what doesn’t touch my heart or my guts won’t become something I will care about. The number “sixty-five million” doesn’t directly speak to my heart or my guts. But how do I - one - who stares at this number on a flat computer screen, relate to this fact? One can’t picture the number. Never before in history has the number been so high. Sixty-five million people were forced against their will to leave their countries due to wars and famines. According to the UNHCR mid-year report, in 2016 sixty-five million people became refugees.
