Aurora
A senseless killing. We are all witnesses. But what are we willing to do? Blame someone? What if we looked at the Aurora killings, and all the other horrific killings we have witnessed and ask ourselves, how did I contribute to that? And what can we do to prevent another gut wrenching massacre like this one? Or can we? As difficult as this has been to watch, and to read, we need to look at ourselves. Inside. Deep inside. Most of us harbor anger, at some point in our lives. It is healthy to express and feel it fully. It is not ok to take it out on innocent people. But right now we are all angry. Angry at ourselves. For tolerating and witnessing one more death. In front of our faces. We have all participated in this. By allowing ourselves the belief that we are safe if we bear arms. Thinking that we will be able to defend ourselves if someone points at us first. But that's just the delusion. We don't hear of anyone bearing their arms to defend themselves. Except maybe at war. B
