You read about extreme acts of violence all the time. Killing is either premeditated or driven by passion. Most of the times atleast. And then every once-a-while along comes a random, mindless act of violence that numbs you because you just cannot figure it out. Why would anyone want to pull a gun on a child?
What could be a more pleasant sound to the ears than the soft-breathing of a sleeping child. It takes little for these guys to know pure joy; A struggling dragonfly held by its tail between their thumb and pointer. Tom and Jerry. Snakes and Ladders. Monopoly. Jigsaw Puzzles. Hop-Skip-Jump. Watch them dream with their eyes open when you read out a story. They are an extremely rare combination of a beautiful mind and an unprejudiced heart. While we may pretend that we are teaching them about life, the truth is a child teaches us what life is all about. Why would anyone want to pull a gun on someone like that?
