Millionaires chasing dreams to explore the depths of the ocean and failing?  

or

Migrants chasing dreams to explore the depths of democracy and failing?

Both sets determined to know the unknown.

Wanting more.

Entitled to more.

Pushing the limits of possibility.

Risking it all:

Children

Families

Futures.

And both paying dearly for their audacity

with catastrophic loss.

The fact that this is even a question

shows how deeply we have suffered 

a catastrophic loss

of humanity.

** Like most of the world, I’ve been caught up in the Ocean Gate submersible saga with no knowledge of the refugee ship sinking in the Mediterranean until now — nearly a week-and-a-half later. The revelation has left me gutted, yet (in a sad, self-loathing paradox) still hungry for more Ocean Gate details.
