Makes me think of what Jesus told his deciples when he held that child, when they were arguing over who would be the greatest in heaven. I'm bad with quotes so forgive me if i get it wrong :P I think it was something like "he who does unto a little child has done the same unto me and it would be better for him in that day to tie a millstone around his neck and to jump into a river" I think everyone can agree, that is a VERY strong statement ...especially coming form the son of God!!
When i thought of what he meant by this statement it scares me to think of what would happen to a person when they would deliberately harm the most innocent of us all, a child. I absolutely hate people who are cruel to children, prolly the reason why i dislike Michael Jackson so much.
I just love to see the wonderment and love on a childs face when they are young, to see those smiles and hear those laughs. It's so refreshing compared to what i have to see on a daily basis. Too bad they have to grow up and become like us :P I love children very much, if i ever see an adult doing something like that to a child i can't tell you what i'm going do to that person but it would certainly involve a few years in jail for me and a trip to the cemetery for him/her. I don't even like it when adults tease children in a mean spirited way and i'm the type of person that will say something about it.
In my opinion children are the better part of the humanity we lose as we get older, and that's a shame. I think it's very important we help them keep their innocence and faith in us as they get older. They look to us to be their protection and moral guidance in this world and we often fail them utterly, only creating another Jeffery Dahmer or John Wayne Gacey.
