Horrible Happenings

I think we'd all agree that the world is not always a nice place.  Although the world is filled with decent, good people, it only takes one insane, rage filled person to inflict horror and suffering.

On early Friday, 7/20/12 the latest and last Batman movie opened.  So many people looked forward to the opening of The Dark Knight Rises with all the joy movies are supposed to bring.  It just took one crazy person with guns to ruin all of it.

I can't imagine the complete terror and chaos those people must have gone through.  My heart goes out to them and the families who lost someone.  So many people were hurt and too many people died.  Mental wounds will take far longer to heal then physical ones.  I don't know what could drive someone to plan such evil and carry it out on innocent people.  The human mind and soul can sometimes be a horribly dark and scary place.  I just wish all that darkness didn't explode and shock a community like this.  What a horrible way to have your life change forever.

Still, I think it is important to remember that no matter how evil people can be, there are still some very brave and deeply good people out there.  I have read so many stories about the ordinary people who did heroic things when faced with the worst situation.  Those and the stories of healing are what we should take away from this.

To everyone out there.  Hug the people you love.  Tell them you love them.  Stay strong and heal.
