Being Human

A man kills his family then kills himself. Children are taught to be suicide bombers and soldiers. Young women are held captive as sex slaves. Leaders bomb their own people. Brother kills brother in sectarian violence. A man cuts up a victim, puts her in a suitcase and throws her in the river.

We seem good at pushing the limits of human degradation and evil.

We need to work just as hard--or harder--to push the limits of what it means to be human in the best and fullest way.
