Thought about compassion.
In among all the discussion of the recent school tragedy,
Let's not forget the millions of individual compassionate acts of kindness and gentleness, that although not seemingly newsworthy, sustain communities across the planet. |

Too bad they've become a necessity. I suppose the same was true during the Crusades. |

Amidst all the incredible heartbreak and helplessness we feel because of an unimaginable tragedy like this, watch closely. You will see the dozens upon dozens of people who put their own lives in harms way to do right. The ordinary folks who rose to the occasion to provide help, solace, a shoulder, a meal, or whatever was needed to try and get through such an horrific event. The good people still WAY outnumber the crazy and bad people and will ultimately prevail. |

It happens with some frequency in the United States, which is the most violent modern western democracy. Perhaps we are too violent a people to allow guns to be obtained so easily. Terrorists tell their followers to get their firearms in the United States, our gun laws are so weak. |

Something reminds me of France. |

We have terrorists running religious organizations, religious leaders blaming tragedies on the lack of school prayer, as if that's going to protect children from madmen with guns. |
