Daily Zen:

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves."

There are few times in my life I have been truly angry.

Coming home and seeing Namari cry is one. Seeing the bruises to her arms and knowing the cause was not a fall, a bump or childish silliness gone wrong. They were inflicted upon her by people with no right to raise even a voice to her.

I could not resist any longer and I went to speak with those people. I hope they understood my words well and they will never touch her again.

Now I must leave... It is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I do not wish to leave her side... I do not want to leave my family. I know I must.
