Whilst I’m listening to your eloquently spoken words regarding forgiveness and salvation for the perpetrators , I find myself just feeling a sense of overwhelming numbness . Maybe that’s a good thing because I dare not think deeper as I’m afraid of the truth behind my emotions and if I am honest I feel not one shred of compassion or forgiveness towards them or their outcome . Maybe my emotions are still to raw , ultimately I have always believed we are the givers of life not the takers . That belief is born out of love , respect , understanding and forgiveness. Your Message has breathed some new life into my thoughts regarding this crime and for that I thank you .
