Many of us are asking the same questions and are coming up with the same mystifying lack of satisfactory answers. While so many are trying deny the existence of God, the devil is certainly proving he is still around. By the way, I like your title. I used the same one for my story (No. 509) some time back, and it fits both stories very well.

Thanks for sharing. Asking WHY is all we can do. Carol

I doubt anyone can answer that question but God....maybe part of the answer is to know they neighbor, go back to town hall meetings and dances with potluck diners at the town square or block parties where everyone knows everyone else...maybe the answer is loneliness, feeling excluded, unloved and forgotten...maybe the answer is become involved-speak to those around you, take away the fear. We are a society that nolonger trusts someone that says hello when we pass by, what happened to waving to someone on the street? Stopping to ask how someone is doing? Maybe the answer is love. Very throught provoking. CJ
