Dark Side of Paradise

We have all been there, reading a newspaper, listening to the radio, watching television. There was a murder today at, wherever? Some criminal was blasted to death in a blaze of gunfire. A man was shot in his driveway this evening. Some person has gone missing. Another kid dies of a drug overdose. The police are again investigating pedophilia on the internet. This is the todays news.

We look. We listen. We see.
But do we care?

In some cases people will exhibit apprehension. Or in the case of the criminal, mumble good riddance, and as long as its not our kid using, we turn to the next page. Listen to the next item if its radio or, change channels on the TV.

Whatever!

That is generally all we think, until you find yourself staring at the results of a gangland hit spread all over a kitchen bench and the victim is an acquaintance.

Then you find out, things about him you could never imagine. You begin to discover, what horrific things happen to ordinary people, in the place you call home. Its then you have to make a decision. Do you continue to ignore these issues or, do you try to make a difference? Well, do you?
