Vulture kid

 

----

The prizewinner of the photo called "vulture kid" - which can be seen on your website - is a photographer, who took this scene into the black box, and left the scene directly afterwards. The vulture stayed: it waited so that its natural work could be done. What a difference!

The stunning effect of this photo is NOT the vulture, waiting for the death of this starving Negro child. The stunning effect is that the testifying human being who could have helped by leaving apparatuses aside and lifting the child on his arms to carry it where it could have been fed, that this testifying human being turned away and was satisfied having got the photo!

God stayed with the child, in the shape of a vulture. Devil smiled and went away in the shape of a photographer. The prizewinner is by this a failing heart. The price is worthless without the living testimony of love.

You may be right he could have done more... but you werent over there, were you? There is a limit for everyone when you break. That guy saw dozens, maybe hundreds of similar situations. He got lost to the point that helping one child to survive made no difference with the thousands he met before. So dont judge him so easily. He gave testimony. He did not put the child over there. He could have done more... but who cant? Are you doing enough yourself?
