22nd July, 2011 shall not be forgotten in a hurry. The world watched in shock and disbelief as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik massacred many people in Norway (in Oslo and on the island of Utoeya). A relatively peaceful Norway experienced a day of terror. But what could have been the motive behind this gruesome act? I fear for the world we live in today, the world where nowhere is safe, a place where we kill one another with the slightest provocation.
And I ask; why is there so much hatred in our land? Why is the level of intolerance so high in our society today? Why is there sadness across the land? What happened to happiness, peace and love? What happened to morals, virtues and kindness that were the norms in the days of our fathers? I can’t even write any further because my heart is saddened. My condolences go out to the many victims and their families. May the good Lord give them the fortitude to bear the loss.
