Honour
The so-called honour killing of a daughter has brought the issue of revenge to the fore again. How can people continue to live together and to hold such widely different views about life? I wrote men and women first (instead of people), but I don't think it is that simple; however, I do think that fear of the unknown is a great part of this and until we can talk to each other about fairly basic beliefs then we will continue to batter wives, daughters, husbands etc.
I wonder if the father will be haunted by his daughter's words in her letter, or will he continue to asssert that he did the 'right' thing by abusing and killing her?
We have children to grow away from us, after a certain age, they must be allowed to make their own decisions - whether we like them or not. They grow up just as we did.
