Backstory;
In a game I am playing I lose a city to someone else (it is a war game), no big deal. (Believe it or not I actually do not take my games very seriously. Few games hold my attention for a long time, I get bored with them.) Anyway, I am watching chat and this is what I see:
Someone bragging about getting kicked out of an alliance (like a guild for the game), because he told someone that said they were losing or lost a kid – have another one. Now in his defense he might be right, the particular person that he was talking to most likely wasn’t in the process of losing a kid, (after all who would care about a game in such a situation & shame on the person for making such a thing up at such a time.)
Here is the thing though; shame on both of them. (Assuming that the person was not telling the truth)…
So this is what I ask of all people on the internet; even if we don’t know who you are, even if you think someone is not telling the truth, have some compassion in what you say… Some things shouldn’t ever be said, no matter who you are talking to. The idea that a baby is something that can be traded in for a different baby is heartless to every person that has ever lost a child…
