I agree that now is the time where people need to examine their lives and make a choice about how they are going to live. So many people are not willing to admit that they are responsible for violence and acts against other people through staying silent or not taking any action against it.
The comments under this post show how far removed people are from their own personal responsibility. The fact that well meaning people responded with a government or legal solution first demonstrates that a very small amount of people are willing to be responsible for their own actions in accordance to a natural law system.
Terrible and painful story for your friend and his daughter. I hope healing will come to them.
The sad part my friend, is that I know in my heart that matters have to get worse ... much worse before people will surrender and start doing the work. The darkness has to sweep over the face of the earth so that the only option is to surrender and change or die! That is what it will take and I do not look forward to reaching that point. I've been there once already in my life and it was the most painful and dark chapter of my life.
I've believed for years that the world has to go through a similar experience in order to start the healing process. A few of us, who have already done the work, will be here to help facilitate that process. I pray it happens within my life time so that I can serve as a catalyst for that level of healing. I pray all of us step up to serve!
