If you ask me...
Today, as with any tragedy, it's not about why the events took place in Connecticut.
If you ask me, it's not a matter of why lawmakers didn't prevent this, why God let this happen, or why friends, family, or mental health professionals didn't see this coming.
If you ask me, it's not about politics, religion, guns, social media, music, video games, journalism, laws, health care, the economy, or anything else being blamed or used to try to explain it.
If you ask me, it's about mourning the lives lost and grieving for those whose lives have been horrifically and permanently altered.
If you ask me, we should pray or meditate or send out positive energy in whichever way we choose. Or, you should go about your daily routine if that's what works for you. We should be grateful we have those options.
If you ask me, we should let our kids know we love them even more than we usually do.
If you ask me, we should recognize that it's about those who are suffering today. It's not about you or me. Theories and debates can wait until tomorrow.
