People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.

This little cronopio is too fresh.

“My parents brought me from Guatemala when I was fourteen. Immigration wasn’t as big of a deal back in the 70’s. When I got to New York, I joined a soccer team with players from ten different countries. And you could just go to work and nobody asked any questions. My mother worked as a housekeeper at the Hilton for forty years. I was lucky. I didn’t have too hard of a time. I got to come over on a plane. But today it’s different. Right now, as we speak, people are hiding in bushes by the border. They’re running through deserts and swimming across rivers just to feed their families. I feel very bad for them. Things are very tough for the Latino immigrant. But it’s our turn. The last one to arrive has to pay for the broken dishes. You’ve got to blame somebody for the problems. It’s been like that since the first Thanksgiving. First it was the Irish, then the Polish, then the Italians. When the war came it was the Japanese. It’s just our turn. I’ve considered myself an American since I was born. I was born in Central America so that makes me an American—you guys even try to claim the name! I love the Yankees, the Giants, and the Mets. But it’s not too important what you call me. I’m just Louis, from Guatemala, living in New York. And I’m the luckiest guy alive.”

“Shoot the older students”

A group of Taliban gunmen attacked an army-run school in Peshawar, northwestern Pakistan, on Dec. 16 and the reported death toll is horrifying.

Over 130 people, including 100 children, have been killed in the attack.

More than 100 have also been injured after some 500 people were trapped when terrorists stormed the compound that houses the Army Public School and College.

A Taliban spokesman told wire services that the militants were ordered to kill the older children and release the younger ones.

“It’s a revenge attack for the army offensive in North Waziristan,” spokesman Muhammad Umar Khorasani told Reuters.

Six terrorists have been killed by security forces, a Pakistani general said, adding that operations had slowed down because of the risk of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) planted inside the school.

It took the army over six hours to gain full control of the premises.
