I am beyond distraught, like most of the people in my world. This “world” of which I speak is the one that has no ability to understand:
- the overwhelming hatred and anger in the heart of any human being that propels them down into the hell they are in, that has them believing will be better if they maim and kill others
- the desire to take the lives of others knowing they are violating every law of society
- to see the devastation they can cause knowing their “omnipotence” mutilates bodies beyond repair
- watching from their perch the terror and horror on the faces of those in their field of fire
- knowing that they are such cowards that this is the only way they can be in charge of their own lives…taking the treasured lives of others
I can go on and on, but I promised to keep this short, and like so many in my “world” we live by our words, use our words to make the world better, and continue to pray for understanding…and if not understanding, at least recognition that what ever it takes, we MUST END THIS CYCLE OF HATE !!!
Well said! I completely agree.
I know, it is a very different world we live in compared to when Obama was in office. I think a lot of these racists were pissed off that a man of color was in the highest office AND that he was a generous man with a loving family. We had it great for the eight years he was president and then Trump got elected and the US went to hell in a hand basket. Biden is trying to get us back there, but he has such a hard row to hoe. Very sad. The hate is real and even in my small town, I can feel the animosity of some people.
I hear you Ellyn, I can hardly watch the news any more. It’s like we’re back in the dark ages. I hope the pengyalyn swings in the oppisite direction soon! Let’s keep being our thoughtful, safe selves, and hope people see by example. ?
What makes your comments remarkable, Ellen, is that you dare to venture into the heads of these perpetrators to visualize their hate from their hellish and warped perspectives. And, yes, the view from their sick “perch” is inconceivable to us.
Young men who shoot children, teachers and strangers randomly are the most powerless people in the world. Yes, there is much mental illness and distorted thinking out there All of the mental health dollars will not stop the mass shooting. Removing military weapons from the hands of civilians will.
