Like a flower in the desert

Sometimes a single story is enough to make you realize again what you are working, what you are fighting for.
I have just been watching Desert Flower, the story about Waris Dirie, her life and her fight against FGM. And although I had read her book before, although I knew what this movie was about, what I had to expect to see, I have just found myself crying for the last hour. Crying because of the unbearable injustice in this world, crying because of despair why such things are happening, why people are doing something like this, crying because of fear that mankind will never stop behaving this way.
And yet besides all this crying, stories like the one told by Waris Dirie are inspiring, motivating and a great source of strength to continue to fight for a better world. I do not know if I will ever succeed to make a difference in this world, to make a contribution to change it to the better, but for me there is no other choice than to make an attempt. There is nothing to lose.
Thank you Desert Flower.
