I Just Don't Understand...

There are so many things in this world that we can not understand.Why do things happen?Or what goes through someone's mind when they do something they know is wrong? As a writer I feel I need to ask those questions. I need to seek out the answers and try to make sense of it.They say knowledge is power,but if that's so,why do smart people do such stupid things?If they know right from wrong (and most people do),then why do they still do it?You're probably wondering where I am going with all this right and wrong talk,so let me explain.I just can't understand how anyone could hurt another human being,especially a child.How can anyone be so cruel and mean?Sadistic and heartless? What do these innocent little children do that is so horrible?Everyday you see the news reports and headlines in the papers of missing children (most of whom are found murdered senselessly).Stories of child abuse so bad that the child either suffers for the rest of their lives or are murdered by their own parents.And what about our justice system that lets these cowards walk free?(Like Casey Anthony) Poor little Caylee didn't deserve what she had to suffer at the hands of her own mother. And then we have little Ailianna Lemmon who was just savagely murdered for no reason at all. I don't think I will ever understand any of this!!!
