Evil won’t triumph

THE terrible events at Westminster remind us of the precious lives we lead together and how there are those who will seek to justify trying to undermine what we value most.

At the extreme, some will stop at nothing to make their point, even when the outrage they seek to cause invariably seems to draw people together rather than tear them apart.

As others pay the ultimate sacrifice keeping the rest of us safe, we can only thank goodness that so often in life it is the best of humankind that ultimately endures.
