New York Hasidic Deli Owner

Photograph.
             Hasidic Deli Owner
             Giving free candy to children
             His wife-shot dead three minutes later.
             This photograph so pierces my memory.
             Goodness, kindness'rewarded with treachery!

Such heartbreaking news, why is there so much evilness around? I find it hard to comprehend why so many people are so full of anger and hatred, which will eventually destroy them and the poor innocent souls caught up in it. Take care my dear Panagiota. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Ann, By the way. All evil you see is not inspired by God. It has Satanic roots. Satan is meant to overtake the world so Christ can return, destroy the universe as we know it. Then most will go to hell. But few will go to heaven. Hope we end up in heaven! The Bible predicts all this...Panagiota xx

If you are a Christian, this is only one aspect of Satan and his minions at work. He is getting more and more powerful. God's services are no longer needed? Thus humans are self will run riot. Murder, lies, etc,with killers and liars being victims? It's not going to get better but worse. Stand for goodness? Humanity will align to end your life if not mortally then spiritually. Goodness is no longer wanted on our planet. Living by laws? Not wanted. So, my response...Satan at work in a feeding frenzy....Panagiota xo

Another senseless death in the daily rate of survival in our neighborhood cages inside our urban/metropolitan prisons. And NYC is the worst prison of them all. ~ Kibbutznik at heart

Seems like groups in America do not value Jews. And in other parts of the world. I think Aliyah is the only answer. Urban cities, the worst, yes. Love how you signed this.~))))
