One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. Exodus 2:11-12
One of the qualities all good leaders should have is compassion for people. Moses demonstrates time and again throughout his life that he has this gift. Yet here his compassion for his fellow Hebrew causes him to turn to violence. What he should have done is go speak to his grandfather the Pharaoah and tell him to, "Let my people go."
How do you (want to) react when faced with injustice?
