Mourning

Words can not express
sorrow of this magnitude
but they're all we have.

I will now move on. I leave with you this plea. I implore you to remember the benefit of hindsight. I implore you to not seek blame with the living, but with the dead killer who, with our benefit of hindsight, we know had elaborate plans. I implore you to not embrace the knee-jerk reactionary mob mentality which tends to grip our society when tragedies like these occur.

But above all, I implore you to think for yourself, even if that leads you to conclusions that disagree with me.

To steal a farewell line: Good night, and good luck.

  1. i completely agree with you. the advantage of hindsight is that it is 20/20. all we have left is to take the lessons we have learned & carry them forward.

  2. Everyone's life can change or end in a minute. If you think about how fragile we really are, you can either live in fear or grab all the gusto you can.

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
