Husband of Woman Murdered in Paris Attacks Tells Terrorists: 'You Will Not Have My Hatred'

What would you do if you were to wake up to a reality that someone has mercilessly taken the life of your beloved one? It hard to accept and the pain may last forever. 

In the midst of the Paris attacks, a man lost his wife in the attacks and wrote a letter to the killers. From the letter we can derive a great lesson on how we too can handle handle hatred.

You Will Not Have My Hatred'

The husband of a woman murdered during the recent terror attacks in Paris, France reportedly wrote a letter to the extremists responsible for the attacks, calling the attackers "dead souls."

The man, Antoine Leiris, lost his wife, Hélène Muyal, during the Paris terror attacks that killed 129 people last Friday.

Muyal was one of the concertgoers attending an Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan concert hall.

"On Friday evening you stole the life of an exceptional person, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hatred," Leiris' letter, posted to Facebook,reads.

"I don't know who you are and I don't want to know, you are dead souls. If this God for whom you kill blindly made us in his image, every bullet in the body of my wife is a wound in his heart," the husband continued.

"So no, I will not give you the satisfaction of hating you. You want it, but to respond to hatred with anger would be to give in to the same ignorance that made you what you are," the letter adds.

The grieving man's viral letter comes after a video showing a father explaining the terror attack to his son went viral.

In the video, the preschool-aged boy is asking his father about why the terror attacks were committed and why people are laying flowers and candles in mourning.

The father explains to the boy that the flowers and candles are being laid "to remember the people who are gone yesterday."

This is an opportunity for us to learn not to live with hatred within our own lives.

"There's never been a time where God didn't direct, protect, and correct me," Washington said at the annual event. "There may have been times where I was less than faithful to him, but he had faith in me."

Washington has spoken out about his Christian faith before, previously telling GQ Magazine that he reads the Bible daily, adding that such an activity isn't difficult, as he is the son of a pastor.

"I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word," Washington said, adding that his preacher father "wasn't a taskmaster, but there were certain things you couldn't do."

"He had his own church, and it was a long Sunday, because you had to be there all day," the actor added.

"Everyone I grew up with didn't have a father," he continued. "I had a father. My father was a decent man. He was a very spiritual man and a gentleman."

The well-known actor also made his faith known during a graduation ceremony speech at Dillard University back in May, where he told students to "put God first."

"Number one: Put God first," he said. "Put God first in everything you do."

"Everything you think you see in me, everything I've accomplished, everything you think I have – and I have a few things," said Washington. "Everything that I have is by the grace of God. Understand that. It's a gift."

Today is another day. I am writing this because another deposit of life has been made into my life's account. It is by grace that I have lived to be where I am today. I therefore have every reason to be happy for I know that The Lord My Saviour and Redeemer still has a purpose in me being alive.

My life is a story written by God . I don’t know exactly how my friends came in to my story , but I hope you all will be there in it until God writes my last chapter .

I am truly thankful for the friends that I have in my life. Each one of you has a special purpose in my life.  I appreciate you and very grateful that you are my friends.

There are times when I am feeling down and it is your duty to cheer me up.

Because you are my friend I take it that I can share my highs and lows with you.

I know I can drop all my walls around me and be myself with you.

Thank you for being such wonderful people in my life.
