It is all too often
that we are subjected to a disturbing report relating another offense or
felony. It is right there on the front page or smart-phone, alongside
your coffee, as you roll out of bed. We are neither oblivious to the
world around us, nor ignorant of all the pervasive dangers. Why don't we
care? How can we move on to the sports page as if nothing happened?
We might not be lawyers, judges, or law enforcement agents, but there is
something we can do. We are members of society who should care enough to
take a moment to pray for the general wellbeing of our fellow citizens.
Never underestimate the power of prayer. They may be called headlines,
but each news flash must penetrate our hearts. Additionally,
while we should always hope to live in a more perfected world, we must
simultaneously thank Hashem for allowing the governing nations to facilitate
real life law and order.
