The image is of Samar Hassan, who just lost both her parents in Iraq, a case of mistaken identity, covered in blood. The picture was taken by Chris Hondras, the photojournalist who was killed yesterday in Libya. And the picture overwhelmed me to the point of asking myself what value am I providing to the world around me through my startup idea. Most of what we do, will most likely have no impact on the Samar Hassan's of the world, those living in regions of turmoil, and it seems pointless to fawn over another location based startup or node.js hack or a Color wannabe. In the end, what is that you and I are giving back to the world around us?
