Agony Of War: Picture Of A Vulture Waiting For A Malnourished Child To Die by dafman10(m): 4:23pm On Jun 19, 2016
THE VULTURE IS A PATIENT BIRD :


This startling
photograph is acknowledged as one of the most
horrifying photographs shot ever since the camera
was invented.


Notice the vulture waïting for the child to die.
This photo was shot in 1994 and won the Pulitzer
Prize. The location is Sudan, outside a UN
warehouse for storing food and grain received as
humanitarian aid. Nobody knows what happened
to the child. But Kevin Carter broke down mentally
after taking this picture and ultimately committed
suicide within 3 months of taking this picture. This
is what Kevin Carter wrote in his diary which was
recovered after his death:


"Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no
matter how bad it can taste and how full I may
be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide

and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that
we will be more sensitive towards the world
around us and not be blinded by our own selfish
nature and interests. I hope this picture will
always serve as a reminder to us that how
fortunate we are and that we must never ever
take things for granted."



Each one of us waste food just because we can
afford to waste food. Despite all the technological
advances made by man, it has not been possible
to eliminate hunger. Hunger is not only caused by
famine or failure of crops. It is also caused by
war both internecine and external agressíon.
Can we, after seeing this photograph take a
pledge not to waste food ?
Can we educate our children not to waste food ?
Can we share this picture with our friends and
acquaintances and take a pledge to spread
awareness, beyond the four walls of our home
about the existence of hunger
Please share this picture and spread the message
through whatever medium that is available to you.
Please do not waste food in this blessed month ...
or any other month for that matter.

This is EXACTLY what we are telling these bitter, demon manipulated people who want to break Nigeria up. The forces that want to feed on the blood of Biafran children are laughing with glee everytime they hear it.

Why not commit EVERYTHING to prayer instead?
That one works EVERYTIME and in ways that are many times better than the intended and the benefits last loooong.
