It’s occasionally hard to understand the essence of why things happen the way they do. It’s always something, isn’t it…there is always another TRAGEDY that lurks beyond what we can see…it’s the unwed mother who hurts herself because she can’t bear to tell her parents that she is pregnant out of wedlock…or it’s the gunman who, out of desperation, allows his internal rage to explode on the innocent around him…
We live in a nation that when the unthinkable happens, another unspeakable crime is committed to avenge the first. We ask why to the reasons people do the things they do, but what we should be asking is what in our society is causing desperation…the ultimate desperation to act out in violence and hatred...
Whatever happened to hope and the idea that change is possible?
What if we ALL believed we could help the world in its loneliness and despair? In a moment we could be gone; in a flash we could disappear; so perhaps, at this moment in time, you can be the change that the world needs…you can be the person to provide aid to the unwed mother or be the smiling face that gets to know the unknown gunman, who then, in turn, would choose NOT to act out his internal wrath…
Think about it…
