This was too good and heartbreaking. There was an incident where I was trying to ice skate (badly) and a small boy to right of me fell and started crying. I don’t really need to say it but ice is very hard and very cold. His father told him to “stop crying like a girl.” He said it loud enough so other people could hear it. My heart broke for that little boy. The father was passing on the lack of empathy and compassion he had been shown by his own role models. He had also humiliated the child probably as he had been. My hope is that we can break out of these prisons.
