It's not. It's not fair and it's not right.
And...and those people aren't different from you. Because like you, they took a risk, took a bet they could make it home. They didn't know if they would make it, but they took that chance just like you took the chance to wait, to hope you could make it back.
The only difference is you got another chance to try again, by coming here. In the hopes that, even if you might die, maybe you could make it home.
