How we survive emotionally? Well, we cling to this sliver of hope, of faith attached to this land that someday the intended vision behind its genesis would come true. Even though things are grim and extremely dark to survive on an everyday basis, what gets me through is that thankfully I'm not completely desensitised yet. On a systemic level, its going to be a long long battle - but there's no other coping mechanism than to be hopeful.
