When you spend a lot of time on the internet, where news of petty cruelties travels at the speed of light, you get jaded pretty quickly. You find yourself thinking things like, “Well sure, that video of a policeman tazing an 80-year-old nun who was leading an orphanage field trip is pretty bad, but it’s nothing compared to that jackass ‘artist’ who starved a dog to death for one of his ‘exhibits.’” In other words, it becomes more and more difficult to be impressed or shocked by the random idiocy and violence that’s out there.
But once in awhile, you come across a story that far exceeds the internet’s usual standards—a story that replenishes your faith that humanity has yet to plumb its deepest depths, that we still have miles to go.
