I can still be shocked

[Catherine]

I can only hope that these people do learn. They can't stay the way they are and they have such a long way to go  before they have empathy and compassion for the rest of life on Earth. The way they are now is having a negative impact on the whole planet. They move us away from the good by their actions.


I was stunned by the deliberateness of the cruelty. These people have chosen to commit acts that are shocking.
They are in no way sorry for what they did. It is going to take some pretty hard lessons to reach them.
The guy on the bus bothered me because I was there in person hearing him speak. He was also talking about eating a live frog in a Toronto restaurant. I know that there are some restaurants like that here. I don't know which ones. So at any given time an unspeakable act of cruelty might be going on in my own city. It is hard to know that. I can fight against it if I get a chance, but often cruelty like this is kept well hidden. I might walk past a restaurant and have no idea what is happening there. It is a troubling thought.
