Don’t pity the dead. Pity the living who are forced to go on.

“When infants were stigmatized, that is, thought to be born already “waiting to die,” mothers stepped back and allowed nature to take its course. These devout women do not consider this sinful. Rather, it is understood as cooperating with God’s plan.” (Scheper-Hughes, 1990)

Favela, Rio de Janeiro, 2019.
I have seen estimates that about a third of Rio’s population lives in the semi-informal favelas which crowd the upper slopes of many hills. They include areas of uncertain land ownership with occupant built structures which often lack basic services and, rightly or wrongly, are seen as hotbeds of violence.
