Priorities?

When will we learn that the value of what we human beings possess is not even in the same solar system as the value of human life?

Local home-owners are about to lose everything in raging forest fires. The gentleman I heard on the radio stated he was more concerned that people fighting the fires might be hurt or killed than in replacing possessions and finding a new home.

War. Disease. Famine. Despair. Disaster. Hate.

Humans need to rethink what's important.
