What if someone you love and care about commits a senseless, act of violence against YOU? I read of this account on a social media site. Three days ago, because of a simple, not-thought-out mistake, one enraged family member strong-armed his way into another's room and subjected him to a brutal beating. To date, there has been no apology to the victim, no admission of wrongdoing by the offender, and I am not certain if a single civil word has passed between them. I support the military and police for keeping us safe, but I was raised as a Christian and pacifist, believing violence to always be the last resort. If I were the victim of such bullying by a relative, how could I forgive this!?
