Sometimes I sit and wonder, as well as ask myself the following questions: How different would the world be if evil did not exist? Who is responsible for the world’s evilness? Why do human beings cause tremendous pain to others around them? James Bulger was abducted, as well as brutally murdered in Kirkby, Merseyside, England on February 12, 1993, by two-ten-year-old boys—Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. James was attacked with paint, bricks, stones, and a metal pipe—causing a fractured skull. In addition, batteries were also placed inside of Bulger’s month.

In life, no one has the right to judge others around them—only God can judge; for that reason, the ultimate question is the following: Why would God allow His children to depict traits of psychopaths
