Nobody Is Born Bad

Nobody is born bad
War
Poverty
Homelessness
Lack of love
Lack of compassion
Lack of education
Lack of jobs
And lack of care
Drives people to take desperate measures to survive

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I believe this usually to be true..Sometimes I do wonder about certain kinds of evil acts as to what went wrong to cause that person to do those things..Enjoyed reading your work..Sara

I like this one. Shows a lot of compassion. But sometimes I wonder..... did you ever see the Bad Seed?
