United we stand. Divided we shoot one another.
My heart aches.
I feel so blessed in my own life, but today my heart aches.
More people dead.
More violence.
More family who will never again get to hold their loved ones.
More friends who will never get to say goodbye to their dear friends.
The hate.
The anguish.
The turmoil.
What was it?
Was it something someone said?
Something someone didn't say?
The way someone looked at you?
Were you excluded?
Were you popular?
Why did you do it?
What kind of hatred would consume your heart in such a way to push you to do what you did?
Why?
Dammit! WHY?!
Please, by all means, pray, send positive vibes, positive thoughts, love, good juju, whatever will get you through this. But I also ask you to consider the idea that God will not fix this, but instead, we need to stand up and take responsibility and start taking care of one another.
We are all so easily consumed with thoughts of what we believe to be right and wrong. So much so that we get angry with those who believe differently than us. We behave worse than children. Children can at least forgive and move forward. Where along the winding road of life do we lose that quality?
Again, do what you need to get you through this, but we need to do something.
