I Know Everybody Hurts Sometimes

Honor Killing...

I saw on the news last night where a 14 year old girl in Iran was killed by her father for running away with her boyfriend. He was 29 years old. It was stated the father knew nothing of his daughter's boyfriend. The boyfriend asked for the girl's hand in marriage, but the father refused so she ran away from home. She was eventually brought back home to her father's house. While Romina Ashrafi lay sleeping, her father came in to her room and beheaded her! This is called an "honor killing" and the father will most likely NOT face any charges?! I was so shocked and saddened to hear of such news. I was also shocked to hear religion plays a role in some of these incidents.

I'm hearing since the coronavirus outbreak more and more women and children are being abused. They have to isolate in unsafe conditions and no one can see what's going on. It's very bad right now in Iran, Mexico and Africa. Killings of women and children are sky rocketing! In Iran now they are calling on the authorities and law makers to enforce laws killing woman and girls. I can't believe the father may get away with such a heinous crime!

There is such unrest in the world right now. There is a battle between good and evil like never before. People are fighting for the most basic of rights that we should all be granted since birth. I won't give up hope that the meek will stand tall with smiling faces some day instead of tears. I will continue to ask what ever it is in the universe that is good to please help us. We are all the same really, we are more alike than not and have the same basic needs. We all bleed the same color and share the same emotions of sadness and happiness. If we can't all agree on a subject, then let us agree to disagree and learn to do it peacefully. Let go of all the hate and put the weapons down. Let's show more kindness and love...that's what we all need! If no told you they loved you today, I will. Sending out love.
