Although I had every opportunity, I knew myself too well; I would never have made it as a cop having to deal with things like this.I would have beat someone to death and ended up in prison myself.
Just reading about them makes me want to rip my teeth out and scream. Instead, I go into my childrens' rooms and just hold them for a while as they sleep. I haven't been the perfect father (kind of a hardass on them for their young ages, but I'm getting better), but a two year old?!
I cherish young children to a fault. If I had ever been in a position where I had to fire on a young child while I was in the military, I just don't know... and if I did, I don't know that I could handle it.
I guess that is why I have so much contempt for the human race and our society in general because to me, the children; everyone's, are more precious than any gold or paper or policy, but our actions as a collective sure don't seem to reflect that ideal.
My wife and I have sacrificed quite a bit of material and especially financial comfort in order to keep one parent at home for them. I sure hope we've chosen the best path for their benefit.
