Sometimes, I wonder where God is.
It's probably a terrible thing to write that, but why do these things have to happen, and if they must happen,
why do the children have to suffer so long before dying? This little girl was dying for 2 days.
:cry:
From your mouth to God's ears, perhaps he spares them the realization of what is happening to them. Maybe their last hours are filled with something imaginary and lovely thanks to him. That is a prayer that I pray to myself when I read these terrible stories.
I have thought the same thing, terrible as it is. Like the mother who shot her son in the back of the head. It is TERRIBLE, and unthinkable, but if you absolutely MUST kill your child it is much better ( if there can be a better?) that it was sudden, unseen and instantly fatal. These awful stories of children being starved to death, left in abandoned buildings, drowned and abused for such long periods of time before death finally comes are the ones that get me the most. The best and purest beings among us should not be made to hurt and suffer! They are so sweet, delicate and innocent
Like Sandra, it haunts me that she may have been abused then thrown in the water in that suitcase alive. I so hope not, she was, like all children are, a symbol of everything good in this world.
The part that gets me the most, is that these pitiful, lazy, worthless excuses for human being spend more energy, time and effort on hurting these babies. The easy thing is to give them up for adoption, or a multitude of other options that are open to desperate people who do not want their children. Why not take the easy way? Why are they so worthless that they can not be bothered to do that?
What can we do to change this, and make it more 'ok' for parents to give up children they don't want? I don't know, but we as a nation need to seriously consider how to teach people these simple values, even if we can only start with the current generation that has not come of age to have children yet. Something needs to change! I really can't take many more of these stories, I am however going to dedicate some of my time to try and come up with a way to make a difference, however small it may be.
Alright, I am off the soapbox.
