Human Cruelty

I haven't written in a while and it figures that it's some heart-wrenching feeling that gets me motivated but I could no longer stay silent. I do not understand the cruelty that humans are capable of committing. How can so many people on this planet have such a deep disregard for life? Sometimes, I understand the cruel behaviors that occur during war. Fear and hatred under intense circumstances can really bring out the worst in people. Not that I condone the cruelty but it's easier for me to understand the "kill or be killed" attitude during wartime than just random acts of cruelty. I especially have a hard time seeing it in America where even the poorest of the poor often have it better than some in other nations. Oh you can be sure that cruelty has no class bias nor is reserved solely for certain races. You just have to read the news and see how every race, religion, color and creed has some that are purely despicable.

Right now I am particularly upset about cruelty to animals and children like they have no purpose on this planet. Many children are being horribly abused, hurt, TORTURED and then tossed out like yesterday's trash. How can anyone be so unfeeling? Leaving animals in dumpsters, abusing them for sport and drowning them in rivers. I am so angry! And heart broken that I cannot save them all. I just pray that God welcomes each and everyone of these poor creatures with open arms and ends their suffering. I think I will stay away from the news again. My heart cannot take it. To see animals flinch at an outstretched human hand brings tears to my eyes. To see an emmaciated child begging for trash to eat while his family is FAT makes me cry too. We as humans have totally scorned God's precious gift of life and the earth. I'm so heartbroken and unsure of what to do.
