Sharni,
I love you...you KNOW I do! But I can't abide by your entire reply...(though I have respect for what you are thinking and feeling).
I've been thinking about this a lot as the days pass...and it reminded me of many losses in my personal life that have never made sense. My first niece died at 5 months of age, and my mom at 54. Human nature is to blame ourselves for [our] past "evil" doings whenever something as a loved ones untimely death, or this particular horror or ones like it, happens.
WE (the fairly good-doers) ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE HORRORS/HORRIBLE THINGS THAT HAPPEN ON THIS PLANET! I just feel...not all of mankind is "being punished" for the minority assholes/dickheads/evildoers/natural disasters of the world! YES...it's beyond big at the time. But in retrospect/hindsight it's NOT due to anything [we] did or didn't do. I believe that the good outweighs the bad...but we only notice the bad because it touches our heart so much deeper!!!!
AND...The media is sucking this disaster up in ratings, with no respect for any human feeling that is hitting us all...as we watch...helplessly...............
Not to change the subject...just to put a different glimmer on it, is all I am doing!
