Even the Most Vile Were Babies

I had a moment yesterday looking into my son’s perfect, uncorrupted eyes.

Everyone we meet, the individuals we have the most difficult times with, came into this world as a blank canvas.

It is from this perspective that I would like to approach people.

Obviously there are dangerous people in the world, and I must provide safety for my family and myself. But even in dealing pragmatically with these cases, I can do so with the sympathy for what those individuals have lost to the world.
