Again, tell me if we are winning?
Sometimes in life, we are shocked by what goes on. But if we believe in ourselves and our government, we can have some faith that the law of our land will correct the wrong, or at least take measures to correct it. When this doesn't happen, our world is in complete turmoil. When we are horrified by something, we should do all we can to correct it. Here are some more things that have happened ...without significant effort to correct it: An eight year old girl is married to a 39 year old man; a ten year old girl hides at her aunt's house, but is found and returned to her 80 year old husband; a twelve year old girl, who was forced into marriage, dies during a painful childbirth, that also kills her baby; a twelve year old girl commits suicide after being forced into marriage; a thirteen year old girl dies as a result of beatings by her 71 year old dad; a sixteen year old girl is buried alive for talking to boys (not allowed to talk to non-relatives); and girls are threatened, brutally attacked, and killed each day for simply going to school.
