I had tears form in my eyes when I read this. I understand completely when you said, " whatever happens to them in childhood goes with them in their heart and mind all throughout their lives." It's true, my childhood was full of hardship and I carry that with me today. But it made me who I am today and I don't know what I would be like today if i didn't have to endure pain. I wish to show compassion for all people. A random act of kindness a day would do well for me.
