Return to the Truth
It's been more than a year since I posted here. I got swallowed up by the ghastly truth of inhumane cruelty in this world. My empathy meter ran out when I started researching the injustices that result from the criminal justice system. By that, I do not mean to affront the great and righteous women and men in this world that live out their days in constant risk to protect their neighbors and total strangers, but the end result of what comes of it all. We put the ones that have wrongly done into a torturous pit and the culture of these places, as well as the stigma of being a criminal keeps many in an endless cycle of crime, violence and drugs. All cases are different, but there are those that still have light in their eyes and have not given up. There is no choice for them. I thought of how these people must feel, locked in a cage, forgotten by their own kin. Some see no hope. What do those places teach people? What if they were houses of compassion?
