Quick, what’s the first thing that comes to mind after reading the following paragraph?
A man breaks into your children’s school and shoots seven students, killing five. The man then takes his own life.
Now, what popped into your head? Anger? Revenge? Apparently, if you’re Amish, you think of forgiveness.
Did you do poorly with that last hypothetical situation? Don’t worry dear reader, here’s another chance. Remember, think of the first thing that pops into your head…and be honest:
There is an outpouring of support from all over the world. You receive large sums of money, gifts, and words of encouragement from people you’ve never met.
What came up this time? A gun? Disney World? Retirement?
How about setting up a fund for the murderer’s family? This article nearly brought me to tears. I wonder what the members of Westboro Baptist would have done with the money…
