My dad always said, "All things for a purpose." I believe these people who do these awful things are baby souls. Although they are physically grown, they react with tantrum behavior to get their way. They are into power, adrenaline rushes, all kinds of things that bring them attention. This is one of the reasons reincarnation makes sense to me. Each lifetime we have the opportunity to learn. Each life we add to our love and compassion quotient, until finally we are mature souls. With some of us it takes a long time and with some the growth comes quickly.

There's a quote I like that helps when things don't make sense to me:

"The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." Richard Bach.
