I know this will be an unpopular idea, especially since the incident is so fresh. But I really believe that hating someone who has committed an evil act only hurts the hater - it causes you to carry unnecessary baggage and pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-34462001555141871002007-04-23T11:35:00.000-07:002007-04-23T11:35:00.000-07:00Your post makes me sad there are people out there ...Your post makes me sad there are people out there that actually have little faith in humanity. That never even crossed my mind when the VT thing happened. I just chlaked it up to another crazy guy and moved on. I don't get very deep and start to wonder about humanity. I see it as an isolated incident and just go on with my life.MrManuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003292550689890179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-48153000105995237742007-04-23T07:39:00.000-07:002007-04-23T07:39:00.000-07:00People who are optimistic live long and prosper. ...People who are optimistic live long and prosper.

Hopefully the families who lost loved ones can make it through their grief and find peace and joy in their lives again. It'll probably take many years, and I'm sure there will always be a level of pain and sadness that stays with them forever.<BR/><BR/>Frenchy: I know, I just saw a picture of all the victims, and I have to say, that was gut-wrenching. <BR/><BR/>Glorious: And I think this is how most things work, when something bad happens, yes it can be tragic and horrible, and frankly, I can't imagine how it is for the families and friends who lost loved ones... but, we can be thankful that there are actions of good, even in the midst of tragedy! <BR/><BR/>Good for Me: Awww, thanks! Wow, that is unbelievable, that connection... yes, it's easier for us as a nation to find peace, heal ourselves, and keep on believing in humanity, but I truly can't imagine the pain of the families and all the victims who were touched by this tragedy. They are in a place that is unique and frightening, and I hope they will recover and find support all around them.<BR/><BR/>Mariana: Yup! Gotta be careful, but it's true, one bad apple doesn't mean they're all bad!Sebastien Millonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384643621878633512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31906869.post-81486535013434401132007-04-21T20:54:00.000-07:002007-04-21T20:54:00.000-07:00Right on, Seb.
