The events of this week have been horrific and disturbing, and I don't doubt this will be with me for a very long time. In a lot of my writing I try to express understanding and compassion for those you perceive to opposed to you, because I feel that humans are rarely creatures of evil. Another human being has had a drastically different life experience from you and it's shaped them differently, that doesn't make us enemies, it just makes us individuals. Take a moment to appreciate those in your life, even those who oppose you in some ways. It takes a fraction of a second for someone to be gone forever, and in the beautiful randomness and unique nature of humanity and individuals, there will never be another one just like them. Call your parents, hug your kids, forgive your enemies.
