The significance of a single life, particularly that of a child, in effecting change on a global scale cannot be overstated. I was recently reminded of this crucial truth when I viewed an interview on a cable news program. The interviewee was a man who had served time in prison, undergone rehabilitation, and was now engaged in assisting other incarcerated individuals in finding renewed hope and purpose.
The man, who had been socialized in a gang-driven culture, attributed his transformation to his daughter. When he held her in his arms, he experienced a profound shift in his internal state, which ultimately led to his redemption. This is an illustrative example of how the presence of a child can profoundly influence the trajectory of history for the better. Children compel us to embrace the more benevolent aspects of our nature, prompting us to respond to the world with compassion and love.
Even the most hardened criminal can discern the divine spark in the eyes of their child. In this Easter season, it is imperative that we intensify our efforts to safeguard the most vulnerable among us—those who impart invaluable lessons that facilitate our personal growth. Each life is of equal value and significance in the cosmic scheme of things. When the life of a preborn child is terminated through abortion, a profound absence is created in the universe.
