In times of immense and senseless tragedy we are appalled at what mankind is capable of doing to others. We feel vulnerable, sad, angry, helpless. We can offer our condolences, prayers, and assistance, but we cannot eliminate the pain. This we must all endure.
For the future, however, we can re-commit ourselves to kindness, tolerance, and compassion towards all, so that atrocities which lie ahead of us might hopefully be fewer and less painful.
Reach out and help those around you in whatever way you can...
In the face of such overwhelming senselessness and sadness, I’m hoping good will come out of this. Something has to change. This is a wake up call to all of us that we can’t continue down this path.
