I understand, and strange it is that an accident of birth, beating born in a particular location over another, can have such an impact on a person's life. (You there and me here for instance). Of course, we can select who our parents are and what location we're born into.
It's truly disgusting how humans treat humans and mostly all of it is due to greed, hubris or prejudice (religious or other). Pathetic, but rather indicative of human nature.
It's sad to think how many good people are struggling through the worst situations, but uplifting to see the really good ones learn, adapt and overcome those things to create a life as good as possible.
