Money and wealth. Economical reasons.

This is the saddest part of war. The economic implications of (i) the cost of the war itself and (ii) the money spent to rebuild after the war. Money that could have gone into health and education and a myriad of other things.

The ones that are the closest.

True, but also the ones that get the most media coverage. In South Africa, for example, we now hear so much of Russia-Ukraine, but almost nothing about ISIS leaders/members in South Africa and Mozambique which is on our doorstep. It is funny how our modern minds work. But in any case, everything about human suffering is bad, especially when innocent people get hurt. Far away, close to home, both cases are bad.

Your brother should move to your hoods

True! It is funny, my granddad always wanted me and my brother to move overseas from here (that is, either UK, Europe or US). His reasoning was financially but mostly about safety. (SA is not that safe depending on various factors.) But with this war and everything, it seems like we in SA are very far away from everything! Or so we hope.

I will. Be safe. And am safe

That is always the most important!
