Serious Thoughts

Never complain that your life is miserable till you have seen this infamous disturbing photograph taken by Kevin Carter who killed himself after this photograph won him the Pulitzer Prize award. He could not get over the disturbing images he witnessed with his very own eyes and blamed himself that he did not help that poor Sudanese girl who was trying with her life to crawl to a feeding center just 1km away and being prayed on by a vulture waiting to eat her carcass. He was told not to help any of them because of the disease that they carry with them, but he regretted with his life for listening. People criticized him for not helping the girl and it hit him so hard that took his own life with guilt in 1994, just months after taking the photograph that showed the world the shocking truth. He was just trying to show to the world the humanitarian crisis that was (and is) engulfing Sudan.
