An incident comes to mind from my early childhood. I beat an older kid in a game of table tennis and was quite pleased about it. It came as a surprise when he smashed a basketball in my face, hard enough to split my lip and I actually started crying. He joined his friends and they left. It was embarrassing because it happened in front of virtually the whole school (it was during a break between the lessons) and people just stared and walked by without a word. I felt embarrassed, confused and alone.
If you could change a moment in history that you think would change our world for the better, what would it be?
