Rating 0 out of 5 (Not platitudinous)

The deaths of five service personnel at the hands of an Afghan policeman they were training, illustrates the limits of trust in fellow human beings. Few betrayals result in such devastating consequences, but we all face choices when we become involved with others. To help another might involve pain and sacrifice, while to stand back is to become cold and insular. We cannot be wholly afraid to help others but at the same time, while giving freely, we must be aware of the dangers. As Jesus said, Be as wise as serpents, as innocent as doves.
