I was captivated by how my sympathy slid from one end to another, as my my morals & ethics were being played with like a see-saw.

Riveting. I often found myself thinking "I don't know how this is going to end."
But that's just the case isn't it? For victims of war, refugees and migrants (as a child of migrants myself) - the confronting reality is that you never know how it is ever going to end.

CEO: "you want us to take a risk?"
Kid (cynically): "I'm not asking you to take a jump-off-the-cliff-risk, I'm asking you to take a roll-down-the-hill-risk."

Kid: "no one is stopping you 🤷‍♀️"
