"For all of the people who are using the tragedy of the children murdered at school to make a point about our culture or society I want you to do me a favor and shut your mouth. The only thing that comes to mind when people use this awful tragedy to make a statement about why things should be a certain way through their manipulative propaganda machine is that I would rather be swimming in a septic tank. How dare any of you say anything about anything other than expressing how your heart goes out to the families. End it at that. Don't talk about gun control, don't talk about how the parents should have known, in fact don't talk about anything. Just have a moment of silence for the poor children who never got to live their lives you manipulative media vampires."
This was a recent post that I made on my facebook. I have read it over and over again trying to see if there was any other way to word my comment without sounding like my opinion is more important than the truth of the situation: a young man, obviously crazy, walked onto the campus of a middle school and murdered a horrendous number of children, the beautiful angels of a parent's life.
I don't have any children. Whether or not I will or will not is beyond the scope of this post. I do have a total of 11 wonderful nieces of nephews. I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like if I lost one of them to an act like this. No one, myself included, have an answer in what happened. However I do know this:
The world is full of unspeakable evils. Horrors around every corner lurk in the shadows. The most important thing we can do is NOT let that control us. Do not let that control our actions and behaviors. Only in love can we as people truly find peace and direction. That's all I can say on this matter.
