Heart Wrencher.

There are many times when I look at myself and think that I am the most unfortunate person in this world. Apparently not.


This heart-wrenching picture was taken by Kevin Carter, a South African photographer who went to Sudan during the rebel movements. This young emaciated Sudanese toddler was a victim of the famine crisis. She was crawling to a famine camp one kilometres away. Even though Carter chased the vulture away after taking this photograph, he did not help her to the famine camp.

Carter eventually committed suicide partially because of guilt that he did not intervene to help the girl.




Absolutely heart-wrenching, isn't it?
