Because the innocent deserve better. And we, as a society, have failed them.

"I want to live in a world where you can go for a test drive with people interested in buying your truck without getting kidnapped.
I want to live in a world where a teenage girl can accept a ride from a friend’s father without winding up a captive for ten years.
I want to live in a world where you can send your children to kindergarten without worrying that they will be shot.
But we don’t live in such a world, because we are far more concerned with rights than we are with public safety."

Success vs Significance --- Choose Significance

“I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.” – Leo Rosten
