Kindness is indeed a privilege! That is a shift in perspective for me. Thank you

I’ve had experiences in airports and seaports that had me feel not any better than a piece of paper; you exist only because of a paper. The colour of your skin helps; Or not.

So terribly sad and yet, so terribly unsurprising that this is the way governments across the world treat law-abiding people. The slapping by the policeman brought to mind a Kashmiri friend's similar experience IN Kashmir. Imagine walking down the street in your own city and getting slapped for no reason by a policeman drunk on the power of the state. 'Infuriating' does not begin to cover it.
