Pictures that do more than just make you stop and think

A picture speaks a thousand words. Except, in the case of these photos, that's an understatement. They speak more like a million words, make you stop and think, then proceed to slap you in the face. Or maybe they just go right ahead and start swinging. Swinging and stinging. Either way, they are powerful.

There are a number of articles out there that list the 20, 40 or 60 most powerful social issue ads, but here are a handful that really resonated with me…or rang true…or just slapped really hard.

After each picture I can't help but ask -

Can we not do this anymore?

Can we not trick ourselves into thinking weapons protect us.

Can we not confuse spirituality with…well anything else.

 Can we not ignore that which we cannot see. 

Can we not turn a blind eye to what our food is literally wrapped in.

Can we not treat the earth like we do our bodies. 

 Can we not pretend that this is how we're supposed to look.

 Can we not label but love.
