It’s not pleasant encountering those who do dark deeds. I found this out at an age I shouldn’t have. I met a few people smuggler’s who had looked inland for opportunities. I don’t know what it was they look for but it was done with a great deal of intensity.
They’re intense people in part because it’s an intense way of life.
The role of a people smuggler isn’t on a grand scale like across the English Channel. It doesn’t involve thousands of people for example. It’s much more careful and considered than that. It’s a delicate way of life too because the risks are huge for those involved.
It takes courage but of the wrong sort. It takes mutual kindness because otherwise it’s a hateful life. It takes a lot of dedication but outcomes are vile at times.
It’s a sort of piracy that shouldn’t have a name. It’s just bad news.
