My good friend sent me an email on the ugly story of an intentional myspace hoax perpetrated by adult neighbors to torment an O'Fallon Missouri girl that at least contributed, if not directly led, to her suicide. It is one of the most vile stories of human ugliness in recent memory in the St. Louis area.
How we battle such ugliness is by living our lives with a good heart. Yes, at times people can be vile. I believe though in that we should live our lives the best we can, and treat people with respect. This is what our justice system really stands for- what it protects- our common goodness.
So it is by living our lives the best we can and by giving the best of ourselves in everything we do- in our work, with our friends, loved ones, and fellow citizens- that we most effectively battle the ugliness described in the article of which my friend refers.
