It is scary and sad and furstrating...and shocking...and and and...I do not get it! How could let anyone let another person die without caring, in front of your eyes. Especially a child!! I have never considered myself to be a good Samaritan. But this is not about being a good Samaritan. This is about being alive! This is about having a heart!
I come from a country where everything seems to be going wrong right now. Well, I think that anyone with a sensible mind that has lived in Greece even for a short while, should have seen it coming. But there are things in this world that go much more wrong than the financial status of Greece. My family is affected a lot has well but this, what happened to this poor soul, for me I think is the worst news of many days. I know there are children dying every second from diseases and hunger. But if these children were next to you, if you were walking past them, wouldn´t you share your food? Wouldn´t you give them shelter? Maybe they are not children of your race. Maybe they are not children you know. But they are children that no one asked if they are prepared to come into a world where they have to endure the harshness of humanity from the early days of their lives.
I have never considered myself as an emotional person. I have never considered myself to be a good parent. I never believe that God will punish or will forgive. But I sincerely hope and wish that some how, what happened to this child will make even only a few realize that life is precious. Every life is precious and we have to protect it. Atnd never forget that no one, but no one, is immune to pain and unhappiness. It can strike our door any moment...and then surely you would not like your pain to be caused simply because someone was in a hurry to get to work and did not care about a loved one!
