RE: Values on life
I am sorry to hear that, that must be extremely hard. I can imagine but I don't think I can ever imagine it fully.
For us, it was complications with my wife. The doctors made some mistakes. Adoption is a possibility but it is a long process here and I am almost 40 after which it makes it even harder.
I think having children is somewhat of an overcoming of the self experience as responsibilities and targets shift so heavily. It isn't for everyone though.
Unfortuately, there is no way to save all the kids in the world know or in the near future but perhaps one day, there will be significant improvements. The world really could be amazing, with a little more care, compassion and a little less greed and self-maximization.
Thanks for taking the time, especially considering the content.
"there is no way to save all the kids in the world..."
Sadly I agree.
That's one of the reasons I am encouraged by my faith. My faith gives me hope, in that I have a promise that "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
Doesnt mean I have to be happy about the sadness, and loss I see and experience here. But it does give this assurance that no matter how tough, or how much loss we see in this world, that it isnt the end: justice will be had, peace will be felt.
Thanks.
