I am thankful for all the best of times in my own personal life, but sometimes I lay in bed and wonder, why me?

What is going on for humans who are also mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers, sounds too horrendous, almost fiction, when we read about it on our smartphones...

What makes these innocent lives so different from ours?

And how do we now have the...
