Currently we live in very turbulent times. It cannot be more turbulent than last Friday (4 December 2015). The school of my six-year old was having a program, and we decided to go. I had gotten dressed, and I was looking forward to a night out in New York with my husband. Even though it was school related, children were not allowed to attend. And then, I turned on the news and the San Bernardino shooting was unfolding. I sat down to look, and as I was sitting there, I told myself that I did not want to go out again. How long can we watch the news and watch mass killings? How long can we see these things? But what brought it home for me was when my six-year old walked through the door, looked at my husband and me intensely and, watching the news, asked a question that I would never have imagined a six-year old would ask. She looked at the television, looked at us and asked, “Is it ISIL again”
