View of the world through new eyes
The world is a scary place because it’s filled with many, many bad people. Over the past month, many incidences have been happening and most of the time, children are the victims. When I read such cases in the paper, I often how the parents feel like because as an outsider, I myself feel the pain from just reading the stories. I cannot imagine how they must be feeling. And now that I have my own baby, I’m scared of letting her out of the house!!
Stories about little girls being brutally raped and then murdered, newborns thrown into rubbish dumps and left for dead, children being abused cruelly that their little bodies just give up and more recently in Melbourne, a 3 year old girl was abandoned at a train station by her father who then fleds to US after alleged murdering and dumping the mother in a car right in front of the house!! I can’t help but wonder what the world is coming to.
How one human being can lift a hand to hurt another, what more a child to such a degree is beyond me. What goes on in their minds when they are in the midst of hurting these kids? Don’t they have feelings? How is it possible to just block out the cries of mercy and pain? I personally cannot handle someone elses pain. I can’t bear to watch anyone in pain, and to read news that kids have been hurt, raped and murdered….it really brought tears to my eyes.
I remember watching an episode of Law & Order : SVU where a body of a newborn was found in the dumpster. I wouldn’t have felt that bad if it was a stilborn BUT the baby was stil alive when it was thrown away. At the time, I was feeding Ella and I just froze up. I instinctively clutched her tightly to me and felt a shiver down my spine. After all, Ella was just that age a couple of weeks ago.
*sigh* The more I think about it, the more upsetting it gets. It’s sad to think that Ella’s been born into such a horrible world. :(
