The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

To the Korzhi Kids/Disinformation

“we love conspiracies because wherever there is a lack of information then rumours thrive” - The Economist

This is actually from an article about Pakistan, but the statement applies to community life in Ukraine. Just yesterday, someone told me I was going to work near Lviv after my two years in my village. Right? Wrong. I have no idea where or how that idea was started but I have never said that. It was a nice reminder that even though I'm not hearing what people are saying, people are definitely talking.
