Violence is never the answer.

I have just heard about the children being shot in Pakistan. I feel so sad for the families and for the children themselves.
People have strong views. I believe it is healthy for people to have differing opinions and I value freedom of expression.
Violence is never the answer though.
If someone feels strongly that their view is right they will naturally want other people to agree with them and share their view. This can only be achieved by discussion and an attempt to understand the hopes and fears of others.
Trying to scare people into following you never works and only serves to drive other people away from you.
I really hope that people affected by these recent violent acts are being looked after now.
