Value Reset
War reshapes values quietly; while my daughter discards, I remember scarcity—where nothing was wasted, everything repurposed, and even the smallest object carried dignity forward.

Unemployment Waves.
Unemployment, the quiet aftermath of war, seeps into bodies and minds, eroding dignity, health, and hope long after the guns fall silent.
