Without love, what is man? On 27 March 2016, a suicide bomber caused the death of over 72 people at a park in Pakistan. Reading the many articles describes the lack of love and compassion for our fellow humans. On 28 March 2016, The Guardian wrote  Lahore bombing victims buried as grief turns to anger over safety of Christians There is something of deep concern when anyone can justify killing children and women at the playgrounds. There is a feeling not of anger but a deep pain inside of me. Yes, these murders are happening more frequently across the globe, only the few that is highlighted.
