I thought I heard wrong when I heard that the shooter at the National Memorial Museum of the Holocaust was 88 years old. Surely he must have been years younger. It is difficult to accept that one could live so long with such hatred.
And then I thought of all people of all ages in this country and around the world who live lives demented by hatred.
I wondered, is hatred fueled by ignorance? Ideology? Is it some sort of illness each one of us is susceptible to if we allow an other's life to be devalued?
Eighty-eight years of hating. Individuals killing at random. Generations, nations killing for territory and power. Each of us need to ask why?
