A few weeks ago, the nation was shaken following the gruesome murder of two little innocent souls by their father, who after that painful act committed suicide. One of the biggest challenges that we face as a nation is that we always try to justify acts of violence. We are all too quick to shield convention, shame, and lies rather than protect the vulnerable, innocent, and the truth.
